I have seen this problem solved by just adding ide0-noprobe ideprobe=0
to the kernel line in the menu.lst of grub at least in in some model
of HP desktops. adn a reboot of course.
I have seen performance jump from 10MB/s to 50+MB/s in the hdparm -tT
/dev/<devname>
No bios changes/upgrades etc.
YMMV..
