We are having a bit of a problem with one of our servers. It has 3 scsi
drives with a single controller and the scsi operation is being perfomed by
an Adaptec 2100s

We have been getting, amongst other errors, this one

The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR8

Ive actually had the error a few times, but slightly different, such as
\Device\HardDisk0\DR0

Very little help on MS or eventid.net, although i did find ms article
159865. Ive also got the Adaptec storage manager installed

Problem is, how do i tell which disk relates to \Device\Harddisk0\DR8. the
MS kb art and the Storage manager all point to Scsi Port and Scsi ID's.

The Harddisk bit seems obvious, but is that the controller or the drive, and
if so, whats the DR stand for ?

Harddisk0 corresponds to the first drive in Disk Management. There is no
controller info in these paths.

If you want to figure out the DR? part grab winobj from sysinternals.com and
look where \??\PhysicalDriveN leads.
