    Do you have the latest drivers for your chipset? Is hard disk DMA enabled?
    Windows falls back to PIO mode when DMA is not available (disabled) or too many errors occur (bad cable, bad controller, bad drive).
    Uninstall IDE ATA controller from device manager, reboot , then install the newest IDE controller from the motherboard manufacturer.
    I believe Seagate has good customer service so they can be also be contacted, if required.

    Try running a hard drive diagnostics with Seagate SeaTools: | Seagate

    If found faulty contact your retailer or Seagate for RMA.
