I/O Warning Paging Failure

I recently cleaned and defragmented my hard drive.
Since then these warnings have show up in my event viewer.
They have shown up for three boots now.
This warning repeats exactly 20 times after the event viewer starts then
Windows startup proceeds as expected.
Could the defrag have mis-mapped a file?
I ran chkdsk and all seemed fine.

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Disk
Event Category: None
Event ID: 51
Date: 3/16/2007
Time: 3:48:41 PM
User: N/A
Computer: FOGBUSTER
Description:
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation.

Explanation
An input/output (I/O) request to a memory-mapped file failed and the
operation was retried.
User Action
If these events are logged regularly on a primary system drive, replace the
device. Otherwise, no user action is required.
 
Having a 2nd hd with a page-file would help,maybe more memory also.However
to fix the problem,open system,advanced,virtual memory,performance,change
button,set C: to: "let system manage" click set 2X,close out.A restart will
be
prompted if done properly.

What utter nonsense you're posting Andrew. This error has nothing to do
with virtual memory.

Make sure you have a full backup of data on the drive. Download a drive
diagnostic utility from the drive manufacturer's web site. This will create
a bootable floppy or CD. Boot from that and run the diagnostics on the
drive to see if there is a problem.
 
The system was running fine before with whatever virtual memory settings
were in place. So why would increasing system memory or creating a second
page file on another drive solve this problem? And Setting the page file to
2X memory is a useless rule of thumb. Are you saying you agree with this
nonsense by Andrew E.?
