My System Log in event viewer is full of the following error message:

The device, \Device\Harddisk3\DR8, has a bad block.

I have five drives on this machine. How do I know which is Harddisk3\DR8 ?

Here is what I have on this machine:

There are hard drives on the following sockets ... IDE0 IDE1 SCSI0 SCSI1 USB

SCSI0 and SCSI1 are actually hard drives connected to the Promise ATA100 PCI Controller Card.

Any help is appreciated.

I think if you look in Device Manager, at the properties for each drive, the "Location" on the General tab tells you which drive it is. Or on the Volumes tab, once you populate it, it says which disk it is.
