IO WARNING PAGING FAILURE

[Anubis]

so i got 19 of these Warnings in the event viewer in the corse of 2 seconds, right after a restart, now i would assume this is REALLY bad if it was they system disk like it says, however it says its "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\D during a paging operation." and im assumeing HDD2 is not the main system drive,

i have 4hhds in the comp 2 80 gig SATA drives and 2 IDE drives a 120 and a 160

the 2 SATA drives are Seagate 7200.7s that are less then a month old, im not OCing my system and everything is at stock, i have adaqute cooling Everest reposts my HDD temps between 30-35C, CPU is always below 40C even when running SETI

so i ask WTF is going on, im not positive yet but im gonna watch this in the even viewer but my comp will randomly make the device unpluged/pluged sound, the dong dong thing, when nothing is being plugged in or taken out, could that in anyway be related to this?

this is what it says when i go to the MS help/support thing from th event viewer
im running XP Pro SP2 and all updates and such

Figure out what physical disk has the issue, then run chkdsk /r on that disk from the recovery console.

do i need to run checkdisk from teh recovery console or can i just do it from within windows and just check all the options?

cause i dont exactly remember hwo to get to the recovery console its been a ling fing time sense ive done that

HDD2 as it indicates is the 2nd of the 2 80 gig SATA drives, the one windows IS NOT installed on

 

[Nothinman]

Just run chkdsk /r on all of them, for the ones that can't be unmounted it'll tell you and ask if you want to schedule the scan for the next reboot, choose yes and reboot.

 

[Anubis]

ok this is odd, rebooted logged into the recovery console, and it gives you that option to select what windows install you wantto choose, i only have one however it listed it as D:....., windows is installed on my C drive, however drive D is the one i want to check, but even tho it says drive D it has the volume lable for drive C

You don't need to use the RC, just run it from Windows like Nothinman said. And you may, may want to back up as a chkdsk /r can exasterbate a failing hard drive.

 

[Anubis]

well i ranchkdsk /r from the RC and it found and fixed one or more errors, i have all the data on that HDD backed up allready, shoudl icontact seagate about a RMA?

 

[Nothinman]

They'll probably want you to run their diags before sending you a new drive, might as well look for the seatools ISO on their site before you call.
