655980 2008-04-04 10:43:00 Just half an hour ago one of my computers locked up, didn't notice until I tried accessing files shared on it and got a "network path not found"

well, I hit reset, windows rebooted fine, nothing came up about recovering from serious error as it would with a BSOD but I did notice this in the event viewer:

Constant stream of disk errors and warnings; most of them:

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk1\D.

Quite a few: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation.

and some: A parity error was detected on \Device\Ide\IdePort2.


First question:

I've got 2 drives, one IDE and one SATA, not sure which one it's referring to - how to I tell?

A rather old 10GB seagate and a new 250GB western digital, both of which have good SMART status, and no reallocated sectors or anything odd

Second question:

Should I be worried?

655981 2008-04-04 11:17:00 Doesn't this: \Device\Ide\IdePort2, mean that its the IDE drive having the problems?

Oh, have you also run chkdisk on both drives just to be safe?

If there is any important data on any disks, I'd be concerned otherwise- meh.

655982 2008-04-04 11:24:00 assuming it to be the IDE drive would be sensible, but we're talking about windows here, and both IDE and SATA controllers are all labelled IDE under device manager.... Agent_24 (57)
655983 2008-04-04 11:57:00 HDD-0 is usually the first/boot drive ( C: ), so \Device\Harddisk1\D would be your second, HDD-1 ( D: ) ;) feersumendjinn (64)
