How to decipher "Disk" error events?

[Jisha]

How can I decipher which disk (or volume) is being referenced in the event
log when "Disk" (source) reports an error?

Example:
"The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0. "

Which is Harddisk0?
First Drive on IDE 1?

Which is DR0?
First Partition?

I'm a bit confused, because I recently had some "Disk" errors with
"\Harddisk0\DR0", and turned out to be my ZIP drive, which is Slave on
IDE2... and judging from the date/time of this current error, I believe it
was generated with a problem reading a CD in optical drive, which is Master
on IDE2.

TIA,

Chris

Thanks Dave.

Not sure yet how this applies to me... but I'm reading carefully now; just
starting to try to understand what's going on here.
These "Disk" errors are fairly intermittent and therefore difficult to
troubleshoot when persistent.

But, perhaps this is a case of a "really smart guy" answering a "kinda' dumb
question"... in that maybe you saw more in my question than I knew was
there?

Right now I'm trying to understand what the numerical portion of the error
message means when it references "Harddisk#\DR#"... what information is
being enumerated by the #'s?

Thanks
Chris
