Have you tried removing it, uninstalling the drivers, and then installing it again?

do what techmouse suggested, then try enabling DMA afterwards.

DMA stands for Direct Memory Access, it's just a way of passing data without going through the cpu.

to enable it go to your device manager, click on the ide controller, choose the channel with your drive on and enable DMA
