Event ID: 51

[Tim Kelley]

I have several EventID:51 (An error was detected on device
\Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation) in my Event Log. The D:
drive is a DVD RW drive. I am using Roxio DLA to allow me to access the
drive using the drive letter. What could be causing the errors? Is there
possibly an issue with the Roxio software?

It is not unusual for this type of error to show up...occasionally.
Sometimes, the writing/reading to/from the disc may lag and the hangup
during the transfer of the packet(s) is noted. If the DVD RW drive
otherwise performs normally and there is no data loss once the read
(or write) has been completed, all is OK. If this error shows up more
frequently, then maintenance on the DVD RW drive (e.g., clean the lens,
check the connections, or even change to different media, etc.) may be
in order.

As I understand it, the peculiar syntax "\Device\Harddisk1\D" doesn't
refer to "D:". It is referring to Hard Disk 1. For example,
on my Win2K machine, a hard disk is reported as \Device\Harddisk1\DR1
and I wasn't able to find a reference to decipher D versus DR1 and
so on.

I used this program, and "dd --list" in a DOS box, to get all the
names of my storage devices. That will dump a text listing of
the devices into the DOS window. Because the author used "stderr"
to output the text, I wasn't able to redirect it into a
text file (otherwise I'd post the entire output).

My guess would be, a paging operation attempted on the hard drive,
was interrupted/delayed/upset by DLA to the optical drive. Or something
like that.

What is your computer make and model?

What version of Roxio DLA?

Please post a complete copy of the Event Viewer Error Report.

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from
Event Viewer.
