I too suffer from this problem but only if I have the onboard IDE controller enabled within the bios. If I switch it off my machine boots very quickly without that error. I think its an nforceATA problem on some machines that use a mixture of SATA and IDE controllers. Is your machine using an nForce motherboard?
