Windows Hiccup ??

Situation: I have a computer used at our site for flight operations. It was
turned on after being off for five days. This is a single-board computer
running W2K, SP4.

The computer booted *very* slowly. They were able to log in, but while
booting into Windows it stopped when it was setting up network mapping. They
did a warm boot (by hitting the reset button), logged in again, and the
computer stopped in the same place. Next, they did a complete power down
and the computer operated normally afterwards.

Our troubleshooting efforts: Found an event 9, "The device:
\Device\ideDeviceP0T0L0, did not respond within the timeout period." and an
event 51, " An error was detected on device \harddisk0\Dro during a paging
operation." in the System event logs.

Ran CHKDSK /r and it found, and fixed 995 security descriptors. No bad
sectors were found.

Question: What is the most likely cause of this error ?? And, how do I
prove that it is working correctly now ??

TIA

Could be the disk drive or controller is failing. Download and run the
manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

John,
Here's the two events:

Source: ideChnDr
Event ID: 9
Event Text: "The device: \Device\ideDeviceP0T0L0, did not respond within the
timeout period."

Source: disk
Event ID: 51
Event Text: " An error was detected on device \harddisk0\Dro during a paging
operation."

Dave,

That was one of my recommendations. We'll see if they actually do it.

Thanks for the help.

Badger,

Thanks for the link. I'm going to follow the path that the hard drive
is failing.
