Hi and Welcome!
PMA failure or DMA failure? Just to be sure.

As LG drives are very picky if connected to additional IDE controllers (IDE/USB included), this might indeed be the reason for your problem.
You may try:

replace the IDE cable by a new one, ideally an 80wired, 18" (45cm) flat ribbon cable
setting the controller to IDE or some other non-RAID operating mode
installing either newer drivers for the controller or try to replace them by MS standard drivers (I am not sure if such is possible, but it is wort trying).
