Error Message

[Not Bman]

I'm on my friends computer again, and every so minutes or so... I get this message. What is it and how do I fix it.

Looks like the hard disk on that channel is failing. Normally timeouts lead to failures.

 

[omg its nlm]

screen shot of Disk Management?

Disk Management? I assuming the hard drive is failing then, the computer my friend has is quite old now.

 

[madmatt]

Right click My Computer
Manage
Disk Management

or

Start
Run
diskmgmt.msc
OK

assuming this is windows xp - right-click My Computer - Manage - Event Viewer
look through the System logs to check for any warning or failure events that occur at the time that you get these error messages. post them here.

It's going to be awhile before I am on the computer again. If I find any errors, what does that mean. Just that the hard drive is failing?

More than likely it's a hardware issue, but it depends on the errors you find in the event log as to what they mean

I guess it really dosen't matter which error it is. I keep telling my friend, YOU NEED A NEW COMPUTER!! lol
