Sounds like you don't have DMA enabled on the drives.

I don't think you need IAA unless your running a raid setup. Remove
it...
I would recommend a thorough system scan and a scheduled checkdisk.
Also, run the default controler driver with the latest chipset inf
update. If your running windows XP SP1, these will already be
installed and DMA will be enabled...
