Try loading your chipset driver, the ones that came with the motherboard.
Chances are they are gone/corrupted for the ide controler.

I had this happen also (don't remember if error code was the same) In the microsoft knowledge base
I found an article about it . It involved a corrupted registry and I used REGEDIT to fix it.
