help few others out there who are struggling with this. Ridiculously, many people are likely affected by this issue, but unless they open Event Viewer and search for this event hard disk controller configure type id 11, they will not realize that hanging is not “normal” behavior, even for Windows! OS seems to silently recover from this problem 10 to 60 seconds later, which is really strange in my book – considering that user isn’t even alerted to this serious atapi error. For impatient souls among us, here are my conclusions: First thing – check hard disk controller failure the SATA/EIDE and power cable connection between your hard-drive and the motherboard. If possible, try another SATA outlet on motherboard or another SATA cable if available. If it still happens, the bad news is that this is likely a disk controller error, which is especially problematic since nowadays disk controllers are built into the Motherboard. If you are in a budget crunch, one potential workaround is to slow down your HD to use different PIO. This may avoid hangs, but will slow overall performance, so no fun solution… Proper solution appears to be to replace motherboard, hence replacing disk controller. There are many motherboards starting at just $50 and in most cases it will improve overall performance and stability for you, even if you keep the same CPU and other components. I am pretty confident that this is the right diagnosis, as we went through a lot of trial and error investigative work, in a space of few weeks, after it started abruptly. At first, I was pretty much convinced that HD is dying. The system had tw

I check the disk http://www.sevenforums.com/bsod-help-support/175034-driver-detected-controller-error-device-harddisk1-dr1.html manager and from what I see in there my primary harddisk is located in channel0/Disk 0 while Disk1 is from my removable USB flash drive. Does that mean the one mentioned in the EVENT was just actually my flash drive? Why was it called a harddisk??? Please someone confirm this for me because I'm getting paranoid if my harddisk is already starting to fail. Thanks for any helpful reply...

That's the first place I looked but I'm unsure how to correlate Harddisk2\DR2 to any of those drives. Is "DR2" = "Disk 2"? Attached is a screenshot for reference.

steps to help prevent it. Hard drive not connected properly Verify that the cables are properly connected to the back of the hard drive. All hard drives have at least two cables connected to the back of the drive. Verify that the power cable is connected as well as the Interface cable. Note: the interface cable must also be connected in the correct direction. Users who have IDE/EIDE hard drives, pin one (red or blue edge of the cable) points towards the power connection. Next, verify that the interface cable is properly connected to the interface card or motherboard. Note: if the cables appear to be connected properly, consider disconnecting and then reconnecting the cables to ensure they are firmly connected. Hard drive not setup properly If a new IDE or EIDE device has been connected to the computer, ensure that the jumpers are set properly. Verify that the computer hard drive is being properly detected and setup in CMOS setup. If your CMOS supports "Auto", it is recommended that it be used. Note: if the hard drive is not being detected by the CMOS you have one of the problems below. Bad hard drive cable If the above recommendations have been attempted and you are still encountering the same issue, the cable connecting the hard drive may be bad. Replace this cable with a known good cable. Bad hard drive If you continue to experience the same issues, the hard drive may be bad. We recommend that the drive be replaced. If the computer or hard drive is still under warranty it is recommended you contact the manufacturer of the hard drive or the computer for additional recommendations or replacement. Bad interface board or motherboard Finally, if none of the above recommendations resolve your issue, unfortunately it is likely that the interface board the hard drive connects to or the motherboard is bad. It is recommended that these components be replaced or that the computer be serviced. If the computer or the motherboard is still under warranty, it can likely be repaired or replaced. We strongly recommended that you contact the hardware manufacturer for additional information.
