Hello,

I am frequently getting an error message in the "System" Event Log.
The source is "ultra" and the Event ID is "9." The Description reads
"The device, \Device\Scsi\ultra1, did not respond within the timeout
period." At the exact same time a warning message is being logged.
The warning source is "disk" and the Event ID is "51." The
Description for this warning reads "An error was detected on device
\Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation." These exact two
events are then logged-in once again 15 seconds later.

I clicked on the Help & Support link and for the Error "ultra 9" there
was no additional info available. However, for the Warning "disk 51"
an explanation was given "An input/output (I/O) request to a
memory-mapped file failed and the operation was retried." Further,
there was the following statement for User Action: "If these events
are logged regularly on a primary system drive, replace the device.
Otherwise, no user action is required."

Am I looking at a "hard drive in the process of failing"????

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Tom.
