how to fix this error

windows XP home, after reinstalled, older data

windows delayed write failure
 
PIO is too slow

when revert DMA- it lists

current transfer Mode: Multi-Word DMA mode2

is that a clue?
 
Windows sets the DMA mode automatically for your machine relevant to your setup so you can't really interpret any meaning into it.

Did you read "Bcastner's" link (all 8 pages) it is one of the best I've seen on this matter with references to VIA and Raedon drivers all the way through it.

Out of interest (as you didn't mention it) although it slowed your system to a crawl did you still get the "Delayed Write" error in PIO mode?
