I have two Western Digital hard drives (WD30 0BB-00AUA1 - 30gig 7200RPM and WD30 7AA 5400 RPM). Both drives are ATA66 and on independent ports. Whenever I try to run a programs that's push the hard drive, like disk defragger, my computer locks up. When I reboot and look into event viewer, I have warning and errors all over the place. The warning is "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation. " The error is "The device, \Device\Scsi\HPT3662, did not respond within the timeout period" I was wondering if anyone has been a problem like this or may know how to fix it.
 
 
If you need more info, please ask...I've been trying to fix this problem and haven't had any luck with it.
 
 
My Specs are:
P3 600B
Abit BE6
256 pc133 ram

Here are a couple of articles which might help:

there is also a reference in: article Q244780
 
but basically, I would say eventually you'll need to rebuild your system because of the possibility of corrupt data files or drivers from all of the lock ups, but before it gets to bad..make sure you've got the latest BIOS for your Abit and controller drivers for the ATA66 card. Also, make yourself a boot disk and put the DLDIAG program from Western Digital's Data Lifeguard suite on it and test your drives to make sure they're ok. If this is w2k or even nt4 make sure you've got the latest service pack install (sr1 and sp6a respectivly)
 
Do you have the ID# of the event? for event 51, you could also try disabling paging or setting the page file to zero, defrag, and then set the paging file on to the secondary drive for 267MB...

OP
I already used the dldiag on both drives(extended test) and they both passed. I had the latest bios when the problems started. I said "*&^& it" and reinstalled 2k and installed the beta drivers. So far, they're haven't been any problems. Don't know what the event id's were, but thank you for the articles.
