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 solved my ATAPI Event ID:11 errors promblem by installing the SATA AHCI drivers included in the Intel ""RST and AHCI Driver and GUI" driver package. It can be found by a search here: Intel Download Center . The SATA AHCI driver is located in the \Drivers\f6flpy-x64 or \f6flpy-x86 folders in the archive.

    Use "Device Manager" to update the driver by right clicking controller and so on. No deleting of old drivers. Just update. After updating restart computer. When restarted Windows will do a reinstall of the drivers for the harddrive(s). Another restart is required.

    After doing this I have not had an error since back in mid December 2012 and my computer is working smoother than ever.

    I had this problem too. Solved it by re-installing ATA channels 0 and 1. Go to device manager--> IDE ATA\ATAPI Controllers--> and delete ATA channel0 (2x) and ATA channel1 (2x). Reboot and check event logs for errors.

    Hope this helps.

    good luck

    After this the error did'nt return..keeping my fingers crossed

    The error returned again..Should I reinstall windows?
