seems that the controller is bad. so the motherboard is bad.

In an ATA drive, the 'controller' on the motherboard is more like a host adapter like with SCSI (original ATA (AT Attachment) actually extended the ISA bus, minus addressing, across to the drive, thus 'Integrated Drive Electronics'). The 'controller' that is throwing the error is actually on the drive; more than likely this string of errors is a drive failure. Try another drive first, then check your cables (cable problems can do this too), then check your motherboard.
