 Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:56 am Post subject: Re-Occuring Message In Event Viewer |
|
|
|
I bought the Freeagent external drive about a year ago but only begun using it for a week now. The drive is connected directly to the USB port & I have tried connecting it to both front and back of my tower but message still appears. The following message periodically appears in Event Viewer:
Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Disk
Event Category: None
Event ID: 51
Date: 7/4/2008
Time: 4:23:32 PM
User: N/A
Computer: SHINTRUEPC
Description:
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
I had Xpsp2 and just recently updated to SP3 via windows update and the message seems to still appear. The drive model number is: ST3250310AS
and it is set for quick removal. The only time I remove the external hdd is while the computer and external hdd is shutdown. Also I have ran both chkdsk & seatools yet found no errors.
The simplest way I can display my system information is through this parser link:

Have you tried any of the HD testing apps like HDTune etc. that can give you reliability/stauts reports from the SMART feature in the HD itself?
Speedfan can let you see HD running performance too.
Try changing the USB cable too? |

| Is there a pagefile on the external drive? Not really a good idea, that. USB drives are not quite as robust as internal, in general. |

No pagefile is only on the c drive. Only use external to backup important files. |

It just doesn't seem like it is all. The only way that message should be occuring is if there IS paging to the D drive, as far as I know.
Interesting. |

| I've seen the same error appear in my event log on my DVD/CDROM drive whenever I have a bad disc. Not sure why it calls it a paging operation as I'm not Bill Gates.. however.. you may want to check the drive for errors.. sounds like it may be failing. |
