I had scanned my hdd with native WD scanner and hadn't detected any
error. Memory scan (memtest86+) also hadn't detected any error.
Moreover, Windows XP on another partition of this hdd working
normally and HDD Health program on it (for S.M.A.R.T viewing) don't
predict T.E.C. in the near future. Also after previous installation
of Debian lenny my hdd was working fast.
When you are running Windows XP, is DMA definitely enabled then?
I has run Windows XP and has been convinced of DMA to be enabled. My hdd
WD1200JB-00EVA0 was running at UDMA5 (ATA100) and cdrom Sony CRX320E at
UDMA2 (ATA33).

Ok well if you are sure about this then at least we know it is not a
hardware (jumpers, cable, connectors) problem.
With my WD IDE drive:

Not sure if any of that is of help, but perhaps you could show us the
output of dmesg | grep -i dma
Now I am simply showing you output of commands suggested me by Bob Cox.
