Title: Paging errors
Post by: Vinil on November 05, 2013, 07:50:54 pm
Sometimes we might see following error on the Windows Event viewer:-

'An error was detected on a hard drive during a paging operation'.

This Error event indicates that an error was detected on a physical hard disk during a disk paging operation. This problem occurs if an I/O operation to a hard disk is unsuccessful. If an I/O operation to a hard disk is unsuccessful, the Windows operating system logs Event ID 51 in the System log. This event may occur even when the I/O operation is retried and is then successful.

If this event is logged regularly, you should back up your data, and then replace the hard disk.


Scan your harddrives for bad sectors.
 
Use microsoft checkdisk.
1. Start->Run -> type CHKDSK /F /R C:

Replace c: with other partition letters if you want to check those too.
example to scan E drive type CHKDSK /F /R E:
