Actually, that's a very good sign, because it shows where the problem is, and I 
suspect there's a work-around.

Go into the BIOS configuration and check what the interface options are for the 
disk.  If there's an option for AHCI, try it instead.  (Aside: per another 
thread on disk performance, I reconfigured a desktop of mine to use AHCI 
instead of the default SATA.  I literally got a 10x performance improvement.)
