Probably a similar problem is described in the linux-ide mailing list a while ago:

At least it is a similar motherboard that is used (however I have explicitly have the A8N-E Deluxe edition).
I try not to repair my SATA disk for now with the Seatools, so if there is some testing to be done, I can run it with the bad disk.
