I see an error in System Events (event ID 11) that points to
\Device\harddisk\DR22.

This machine happens to have an IDE disk, 2 SATA disks, and a 1GB
microdrive on a USB port. How o I tell which disk it's complaining about.

If device manager and storage manager tell me this, I can't see it.

Actually i think it's the USB microdrive and I'm not worried, but this
message reminded me that this is something I never figured out.

Thanks.
