Diskeeper Event Viewer Message???

[kirbalo]

All,

I have WinXP Pro SP-2 on an Athlon XP 2600+.

Diskeeper 8.0 runs every night as required. I get the following in my Event
Viewer Log:

The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


The problem is, Disk0 is a 60GB drive with C:\ as the primary partition, and
E:\ and F:\ as Extended partitions/logical drives.

Disc1 is a 120GB drive with D:\ as the primary partition, and G:\ as the
extended partition/logical drive.

Harddisk0\D doesn't make any sense to me...?

I can't figure out which drive has the problem based on the message in the
event viewer...can anyone clarify?

Thanks in advance...

why don't you just run scandisk and let it fix the error?

oops chkdsk

 

[Peter]

Start/Run/chkdsk /r and let it run next time you boot.

 

[kirbalo]

I have run chkdsk in the past...it fixes it for a while...but then the bad
blocks start showing up again.

I can't figure out which Harddisk is the problem...

[kirbalo]

I know how to run chkdsk...that's not my question...

I'm trying to determine which disc continues to have problems.

Pop out to a command prompt and run Diskpart, and use the List command.
This may give you more information as to the identity of the disks.

Thanks...I tried that, but it just confirms what I already know from the
"Computer Management" screen in WinXP. It does tell me "volume"
information, but it's not relevant to my error message.

Right click on "my computer" » click manage" » click drives » left hand column shows the drive #s.

HDD 0 is usually your 1st drive, the one with the OS on it.

I agree...the conflict is that \Device\Harddisk0\D doesn't make sense. If
it said \C or \E or \F I would be OK...but \D is on Harddisk1.

If it is identifying it as hard disk 0, it most likely is your system drive,
the one containing your C: drive.

 

[=?iso-8859-1?B?uyBtcnRlZSCr?=]

I just reread your OP. I think that it has to do with "Extended partitions/logical drives".

Did you have both drives in place when you created the extended partition on HDD 0?

Did you create the primary on HDD 1 before creating the extended partition on HDD 0 or after?

An extended partition is useful IF you need more than 4 partitions on a single drive, you only have 3 on HDD 0 and 2 on HDD 1. Take a look at this article http://fdisk.radified.com/ some of the information may be helpful.
