Hello,

I have a few machines (Windows XP - Home & Pro) that receive this error
message. I want to know how to determine which device is being referenced.
The description of the error references "\Device\Harddisk1\D." However,
there is no "D" drive.

There is a C drive, which is connected to controller 0 on port 0. There is
an E drive (CD-Rom) on controller 0, port 1. But there is no D drive, nor
is there anything on controller 1. The E drive has no CD and is not
accessed during the time of the error. I've replaced IDE cables for the
both the CD & HDD, swapped the master/slave setting between the CD & HDD and
moved both to controller 1. I still get the same error message.

Anyone have a suggestion?

Had a similar string of errors once right before a hard drive failure.
"......Harddisk1\D." Turned out to be IDE 0, Sector D of that drive. [Some
App's will number disks by starting at ONE, instead of Zero, therefore the
"...Harddisk1" error message.]
Run CHKDSK and/or the manufactuter's diagnostic, (usually a free download
from the manuf.'s website).
BACKUP ASAP!!, even before testing.

When I had this message , it turned out the motherboard only supported ATA66
while I had ATA100 and 133 HDD's. A bios upgrade cured it though . My 2
