This is my computer specs two weeks ago:
Intel Q6600
Asus P5W-DH
2 gib ram
Wd5000aaks (sata and no jumper)
Asus Hd 3870
I dual boot vista and ubuntu
 Two weeks ago when trying to boot into ubuntu I have encountered ata8: SRST failed (errno=-16). Since I had lot of work, I had no time to search for answer. This week I my father brought home an new computer. I salvaged the old computer drive which is a brand new wd800bb (ide) and installed it in my rig . When booting from live-cd i get ata8: SRST failed (errno=-16). I still get this error most of the time after disabling the floppy drive and the putting bios sd800bb setting to not installed.
