I agree^^^^ switch the cable. You may be using a standard 40 pin IDE cable which will give you issues with UDMA(too much interference between the conductors). You need to use an 80 conductor cable (independant ground for each of the 40 wires) to allow for reliable data transfer under UDMA. Just my $.02, but thats what I'm betting on.
