Ftdisk Message in Event Log

G

Guest

I noticed that I have this message appearing in my Event Log on a fairly
regular basis--almost every other day. Any advice would be appreciated.

The machine is a DELL 4600 desktop with XP (Home). The link on the message
doesn't have an answer.

Thanks for any assistance!Tony V

Same problem here, began on 3/13/07, a day after I updated Windows Media
Player to 11 - not sure if that has any relationship, though. However, the
Ftdisk error had never appeared before that. This is a brand-new machine as
of 3/04/07; custom build:

XP Pro Service Pack 2
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU 660 @ 2.4Ghz
2G RAM (virtual auto-set by Windows)
C drive = 2 WDigital 160GB SATAII HDs, GRAID SCSI, 320G (NTFS)
external WD MyBook 320G HD (for backup; FAT32)

It's not like it doesn't have *room*. <g> C drive(s) have 290G free space.

Error msg is identical to Tony V's:

The machine's running, obviously, but I don't like unexplained errors and am
not a super-geek who can analyze. About all I've managed to think of is it
might possibly mean Dr. Watson won't function correctly as a result, but I've
no clue if that's correct. Ideas?
