How do I know which disk drive it is based on Windows' event logs?
Example: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk3\D during a
paging operation.
Is this labelling based on the order in My Computer's Manage -> Disk
Management? Because I don't see a Disk 3. So I am confused on how
Windows label disk drives. I do have three physical HDDs with seven
total drives/partitions (C: to I + two CD/DVD drives (M: and N.
Thank you in advance.

\Device\Harddisk3\D is a cutted string, a complete version
would be like \Device\Harddisk4\DP(1)0-0+d which is usually
the 'DOS device name' or 'symbolic link' of is a removable
flash drive.
Search with my commandline tool ListUsbDrives for this name,
then you know the drive in question, which appartenly doesn't

Uwe, I don't have any USB storage devices hooked up. Here's the result:

Did you try searching the KB. Maybe there are some hints in there.
The search term I tried was "\Device\Harddisk".

DOH!!! I was just digging around for the exact same message myself.
"Harddisk3" means the third drive, which would be "Disk 2" in the Disk
Management (it counts from 0).
Also the "D" should be the drive letter of the affected drive (Disk 2 in the
Disk Management)
I don't think it's a hardware fault with the drive, but possibly a problem
with the nForce SATA controller.
My drive is a Western Digital 36gig Raptop, the only SATA drive in my
system. Mainboard is a DFI nF4 LanParty Ultra-D. Latest nForce drivers from
nVidia.
If you look at your event viewer carefully, you should see that the events,
when the start happening, are almost exactly 15 minutes and 30 seconds
apart!!!
I would REALLY like to know what's causing this myself!!!

Thanks, but it is still confusing. I know it's one of the harddisk
drives, but which one? Is D my drive letter (D?

Not with mine since they were almost by seconds (three in total):

I downloaded dd version 0.5. Unzipped it.
Opened a command window. CDed to the download directory.
Tried...
dd --list
It dumps some info about NT internal block device names
and links. You don't have to use any of the other
functionality. Maybe the output shown in the command
window, will map a partition to a \Device\Harddisk\Partition.

The numbers you see in the disk management are the same
as mentioned in these \Device\Harddisk4\.. strings, so
apparently you had an additional drive attached when the
log entry had been made. I can be a harddrive too, I've
just seen that there are symbolic names as
\Device\Harddisk4\DP10 too used for removable and fixed
drives but I still think that it was an USB flash drive.
