To recap: My drive got switched from UDMA mode to PIO mode in Windows (only). I ended up having to reinstall Windows. After some careful investigation, I found that the problem was caused by the copy protection of a game - Superpower 2. Worse, the problem was not corrected when I removed the game. It took either a full reinstall of the OS, or a restoration of the windows registry from before I installed the game to fix this problem. I know that this will not affect dedicated Linux users, but it can affect those of you who use both windows and Linux.
