Sure i will help you out with that, try to check you IDE cable and follow the below steps:-

1. If your UDMA hard disk is connected to the controller with a 40-wire UDMA cable, replace the cable with an 80-wire cable.
   
2. In the BIOS settings for your computer, load the 'Fail-Safe' default settings, and then reactivate the most frequently used options, such as USB Support.

I was also facing such kind of issue but my problem got solved by following below steps:-

1. Start your computer by inserting the Windows startup disks or the Windows installation disk if your computer can start from the CD drive.
   
2. When the Welcome to Setup screen appears, press R to select the repair option.
   
3. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot computer, select the Windows installation that you want to access from the Recovery Console.
   
4. Type the administrator password when you are prompted to do this.
   
   Note If no administrator password exists, press ENTER.
   
5. At the command prompt, on the drive where Windows is installed, type chkdsk /r, and then press ENTER.
   
6. At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart your computer.
   
7. After you repair the volume, check your hardware to isolate the cause of the file system damage.
