I replaced all the cables and the hard disk however I get the same Error (money wasted).

When you start the PC and get "PIO MODE" in Computer/Manage/Device Manager/IDE ADA ATAPI Controllers/ATA Chanel X/Properties/Advanced Settings is the cause your PC is freezed.

My "temporal" solution for this problem is:

1-Shut down the PC.

2-Pick Up and Put the Hard Disk cable in the same port of the motherboard

3-Start the PC and review in the Advanced Settings box -> "Ultra DMA Mode 6"; at this moment you can work without problems.

* If you can exchange your motherboard (while under warranty) DO IT!

-.- We all will be WAITING that Microsoft get a solution to force the start up from "PIO MODE" to "ULTRA DMA 6"

    I am also experiencing these errors.  It is frustrating since I can't seem to track down the cause.

    I have just started getting the same issue, but I believe mine is hardware related. I checked my SATA cables and found the connector on one of them was cracked. I have just replaced it and I am willing to bet that this will eliminate the problem. BTW, my symptoms were that my PC would spontaneously reboot - never a good thing. So, only time will tell now, but I should also say that this was occurring pretty regularly one or two times per day.

    I have the same problem when I start-up on my PC from one day to another. I tried changing the IDE cable from the IdePort 0, 1, 2 , 3 but is only a trnsitory transitional solution because the next day when the PC start-up i got a lot of the same error.

    I think that this problem is related with other problem that occurs with the restore points that are deleted. I disable the restauration points and the errors stoped.
