hard drive reports diagnostics failure

Hello, everyone!
Archlinux boots very slow because of one thing:

libata version 2.20 loaded.
pata_amd 0000:00:06.0: version 0.2.8
PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:00:06.0 to 64
ata1: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x000101f0 ctl 0x000103f6 bmdma 0x0001e000 irq 14
ata2: PATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x00010170 ctl 0x00010376 bmdma 0x0001e008 irq 15
scsi0 : pata_amd [b]<-system hangs here for about 6-7 seconds[/b]
ata1.00: ATA-7: SAMSUNG SP2514N, VF100-33, max UDMA/100
ata1.00: 488397168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 
ata1.00: Drive reports diagnostics failure. This may indicate a drive  [b]<-then i notice this[/b]
ata1.00: fault or invalid emulation. Contact drive vendor for information.
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/100
scsi1 : pata_amd

Is there something wrong with my hard SAMSUNG SP2514N? Or i can do something to speed up the process.

btw samsung hard drive is 250G. And when I formated one logical partition on it(qtparted) to ext3, I noticed that 11Gigs of space were marked as occupied on this partition.
