Re: Determing problem hard drive

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

See my other reply, as to the numbers (at least I THINK that's
correct...<G>). Can't find a mention of a drive 2.

When I plug in a USB thumb drive, it's usually a drive 3, though...so...must
have a drive 2, somewheres...

Thanks.

Disks are usually designated 0,1,2 etc where 0 is usually boot, C drive
Your raid would be seen as a single disk, would expect it to show as
hardisk0, and D as harddisk1.
The manu hd checking utility may not be able to 'see' the disks on the
Adaptec card - it would'nt on mine

Do you have any card readers, removable disks?
There was a recent (last 7 days) MS ng post on an identical problem,
afraid
I cannot remember group or resolution

Dumb question... I am getting the following error message, starting
right
after I boot (WinXPProw/SP2 and all patches), increasing in frequency,
then,
usually ending up with a BSOD of 7A:

My drives consist of 3 SCSI 36 GB in RAID-0 on an Adaptec controller card
as
C: and a 200 GB IDE on IDE Channel 0 as Drive D:

While, at first glance, you'd think the error is referring to Drive D:, I
cannot find the exact name, \Device\Harddisk2\D, listed anywhere in
Device
Manager, System Information, so...am not sure WHICH drive is giving the
problem.

I've reseated everything that's removable, and, changed the SCSI and IDE
cables, but, still get the message.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
