Event ID error

[Guest]

I have a XP Home SP2 PC that keeps generating an Event ID 51 in the system
log. The error says:

Event ID - 51 - An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a
paging operation.

I have determined that this refers to my hard drive, I only have one...but
am not sure what the \D represents. My hard disk is C:. Anyhow, this error
is showing up more regularly now and I am not sure what to do to remedy this
problem. The PC will lock up periodically as well. I've searched the web
for answers, but have not found a definiete reason what is causing this error
or how to fix it. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks!

Harddisk 0 should be C:,you can double chk by run,type:diskmgmt.msc
For the problem,open system properties,advanced,performance,virtual memory,
change button,select "let windows manage" then click set 2X,close out,a
restart
should be prompted.
