I've solved this kind of issues every time by changing the cable or by lower-ing the settings for ATA, like instead of ATA133 to use ATA100, or ATA66. #atacontrol list #atacontrol mode ad0 ATA66 Try that, if it works, try ATA100. Your hard drive, motherboard and your cable, all must be ATA100 to support that speed.
