The discussion concerning this thread tells me that my own understanding of the issues at play is far below that of certain other posters. However, I will humbly wonder aloud if the IDE cable is firmly seated in the connectors at both its ends. On two or three occasions I have spent much time cursing and fretting as I attempted to locate some serious cause for strange system behaviour, only to discover that the freakin' IDE cable had wiggled loose. Granted, your problem seems to be a little too consistent and limited for it to be the cable, but I can't help wondering.
