Event ID 9

[Guest]

One of our XP Pro reports Event ID 9 in the system log. The message points to
\device\ide\ideport0 as the problem.

How do I identify which device this is?


Thanks,
Tom Morris

Please post a copy of the Error Report from the System log of Event Viewer.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Administrative Tools, and
Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information
regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.

Part of the Description of the error will include a link, which you should
double click for further information. You can copy using copy and paste.
Often the link will, however, say there is no further information.

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. Double click the button and close Event Viewer. Now
start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of the message. This
will paste the info from the Event Viewer Error Report complete with links
into the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from Event
Viewer.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on
the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties. Hardware,
Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What drivers
are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked.

You're probably looking at a hard drive related problem but it could a CD
or DVD drive.

One of our XP Pro reports Event ID 9 in the system log. The message
points to \device\ide\ideport0 as the problem.

This error is usually due to either poor cabling, loose cables,
a failing controller or failing hardware - such as the Primary IDE
controller for your hard drive.

(in your case - it is pointing to the primary hard disk drive or the
controller/cable it is connected to.)

If you have "GoBack" installed - uninstall it and see if this error goes
away.
