hmm, I came to this thread again from the link you posted in another. Yes, the issue can occurs when for some reason Windows treats the disk as PIO mode instead UDMA x, although I saw that problem only with IDE drivers it may be an issue with SATA in IDE native mode.
x=a number normally ranging from 4 to 6.
All my discs are in AHCI mode, I don't have this choice anymore (good riddance).
The symptoms are a general slowdown in the whole system and too high CPU usage.
To solve the issue open the "Device Manager" under the "System" icon under the Windows control panel and verify the disks or the IDE ATA/ATAPI, the option will be there. Try finding on the web the correct UDMA number for your HD model, wrong number there lead to problems too.
