May not be this but i've seen that quite a few times when there is a mbr based virus, if that is so boot from a clean boot disk and type fdisk /mbr. That may help it, although it is possible it may make it worse.

Got a link or the specs on this thing.. I have seen it caused by a few things. Sometimes a bios update did the trick.. Others were because of some IDE controller drivers.

There is a chance it could be due to a failing IDE cable. That happened to me a few months ago, but I had a bunch of errors for that in the BIOS as well.
I'm guessing it is more likely the chipset drivers, because the last time I saw a drive using compatibility mode was when I had an external hard drive, and the USB 2.0 drivers were creating some weird conflicts. I'm sure there's a chance that the motherboard drivers could be doing the same thing.

There's a solution where you can fix your MBR. I don't know how it can be done. I read about it somewhere.
However, you can format drive C along with the last letter drive (H in my case).
Then, if you re-install Windows and still have the problem, simply you have to format all partitions.
