Posted on 2010-04-08 Storage Hardware Windows XP PCs 3 Verified Solutions 65 Comments 4,239 Views Last Modified: 2012-07-30 Hi Everyone, We have Four different seagate external drives that are hooked up to an XP machine at various times for backup purposes. One stays permanently connected and the rest are rotated. Three of the four drives https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25762694/Consistently-getting-paging-operation-errors-on-ext-drives-multiple-new-drives-Any-help-on-why.html were purchased from different stores, different times, etc. However, all of them (when connected) throw paging errors in the event viewer. Despite that, the drives work fine, Norton Ghost is able to backup to them, etc. I did a search on this topic and seem to find a lot of results on Google of people having similiar issues with Seagate drives. Is this something we should be concerned about? The machine is a brand new PC as well.

Just wondering, does a paging operation error mean that file copy might have gone wrong? Apr 7, 2008 #3 kimsland Ex-TechSpotter Posts: 14,524 Yes it means data stored in the paging file may not have been written to the disk correctly Apr 7, 2008 #4 (You must log in or sign up to reply here.)

a Seagate FreeAgent 320GB USB external drive and plugged it into my desktop computer (Gateway running XP Pro). The drive was recognized immediately and I copied files to it with no problems. While reviewing my Event Viewer, I found the following (truncated) entry - which was repeated about on an hourly basis when the computer was idle: Event Type: Warning Event Source: Disk Event Category: None Event ID: 51 An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\D during a paging operation. I tried plugging it into different USB ports, running chkdsk /r and /f, Seagate utilities, reformatting it, etc. and the same error occurred. No errors were detected in the tests and I would not have known about the error message if I didn't happen to see it in the Event Viewer. I got the same message when the Seagate was plugged into another laptop and my work laptop. Google results and MS Knowledge Base indicate that this error can be ignored and "no user action is required" if this error occurs on non-primary drives. I brought that drive back and exchanged it for another one with the same errors. I have other, older external USB drives that I use (Iomega 80 GB and Western Digital 250 GB) but these drives do not generate the paging errors when hooked to my desktop or laptop computers. Despite the directions to ignore the error message, I don't feel comfortable with an Event Viewer log full of disk error messages. Am I over-reacting? Am I wasting my time looking for another external hard drive or do all newer external drives generate that error? Thanks for any advice. Shawn E.
