Re: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks lvee,

I was reading some newsgroup on the error Event ID-51 "An error was detected
on device\Device|Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.", and beginning to understand
that it maybe an issue with on-board RAID controller.

Among other hundreds of threads in the newsgroup, the common denominator
seemed to foster around on-board RAID controller. Many of them had suggested
to use a PCI RAID controller instead of on-board controller.

I'll try your link first, and if it doesn't work, I'm thinking of switching
the RAID controller.

Thank you

michael
