I suspect you really mean 'ata/ata-disk@0:0' ? I'm no authority, but I don't
think I've ever seen ATA capitalized like that in an OF path.

It seems to me that you should use ata/ata-disk@0:3, since the 0 presumably
means IDE master and the 3 is the partition number. (I may be completely wrong
on that, but I wrote that down somewhere else too. :)
I'm not sure what could cause a CLAIM FAILED error.
