An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation. This has been bothering me for ages now, I don't see any problems like crashes but the errors are quite frequent. At first I thought it must be a bad hard drive but I got a new 1 to test it and that too comes up with: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\D during a paging operation. I run them through SATA(no raid) on my nvidia nforce 680i motherboard which has the newest BIOS and I've tried to disable the NCQ, reformat HD and hard drive diagnostic tools (both pass). Normally i see the warning a few times a day on their own, but this morning i left my pc on downloading and the warning came up once every hour almost to the second. I also have a USB hard drive which doesn't come up with any of these errors so maybe it's a faulty motherboard? I've had the first hard drive for over a year without any problems but I have so much unbacked up data, about 400gb and want to know what someone else thinks of the risk of losing it. ----------------- Explanation An input/output (I/O) request to a memory-mapped file failed and the operation was retried.
