Hello. I've got 2 IDE hard drives and an external drive connected with USB2.
I've recently got the following error "An error was detected on device
\Device\Harddisk4\D during a paging operation."
Does anyone know how I can tell which drive is Harddisk4?
Thanks.

It depends on the OS.

Which one are you using for paging?

Windows XP and the C drive. So it's the drive that has the paging file on it
then?

The error message would seem to suggest so. But XP might move in
mysterious ways.

As Administrator, run DISKPART. Command LISt DISk will list you the disks.
Then with SELect DISk 4 then DETails DISk you'll see what partitions are
available.

Diskpart is not installed with 2000, you'll have to download it. It's a MS
free tool, originally from the Resource kit I believe. Documentation is
available on the web too. Beware, there are a lot of dangerous commands (but
LIST and DETAILS are fairly safe).

Why not just Disk 4 Properties in Disk Manager?
