You have either:
1) a bad ide cable, or
2) a bad motherboard (IDE connector, timing, flakey chipset, who knows).
Try using a new IDE cable and see if the error messages go away. Be sure
to use an 80 wire cable and not an old ATA/33 era 40 wire cable. If you
have two devices on the same cable, it could be that the second device is
causing problems too.
(2) is pretty unlikely unless it's a really old board.
