Hmmm... Sounds like a problem I had as well.
I'm not sure what it is, but it ended up going away, and it didn't happen on a different install of windows. That takes away the chance of a hardware problem.

1. Make sure DMA is enabled. PIO mode will cause such problems..

2. Make sure you have the chipset driver loaded...
