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"

    Hi, All.

    I just installed a Windows 7 Pro (Japanese) on a new Hitachi 1TB hardisk in my Dell Dimension 8400. It installed easily and works fine, except performance does seem very slow at times. When I checked the System error log, I see there have been dozens of disk errors (below) occuring each day. Does anyone have any suggestions to eliminate these errors?

    Many thanks in advance!

    Greetings,

    I am having the same errors and only after upgrading to Win 7.  I only have the one OS on my laptop with only one internal cd/dvd drive.  However, I am getting a blue screen shortly after the errors (7 total logged) and an additional error (NTFS), "The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur."

    I have turned off the auto restart and will try to get additional information. 

    Thanks.
