This is a possibility, it was part of my certification training by COMPTIA and also happened to my friend, coincidently, 3 weeks ago, and he went out and bought a new board without consulting with me first, instead of changing an IDE cable. It was a popup that came about near the system updates that said read/write delay failure. I found in my old books this can be a cause.

He feels bad now.

I didn't say it will happen, I said it can.

Hope that helps!!!
