Solution There may be several ways to identify the drive. I have intermittent bad block errors in my Windows SBS system event log. I belive it may be that the Harddisk4 maps to "Disk 4" in the Disk Management utility, but I have not found any reference saying that it is so in so many words. I have spent some time searching, but the only info I have found is to "look in disk management" but that is not definitive enough for me to say "this disk is faulty".

The number in the DRx part at the end really does not have any special meaning. It is just a sequence number which starts at 0 and increases ever since. That means it matches the preceding HarddiskX part after boot, but if you plug or unplug some drives, the number keeps increasing and naturally gets out of sync.

Because "disk 4" seems to be the backup disk. Can you correlate the time of the errors to the time of your backup process? If so, then perhaps you can choose to 'not run' the backup for a single night and see if the errors vanish. Sign up to join this community.

We have two external drives, each with two drives in them, which is where part of our backups are going. I noticed through a corresponding error in Backup Exec that Windows is NOT showing 2 of the drives, so I am investigating that avenue and checking out the enclosure connection.

I am not sure what has happened. However, I am not sure it would be this that the errors are referring to though because if they are not connected for whatever reason then how would it be getting this disk error? Maybe just coincidence? Windows routine "Hides" External Devices dedicated to Backup to stop users storing "the wrong kind of data" on them - that would explain what you see.

The only tool I know of that uses this notation is dd for windows. You can try it to make sure which drive it is. James - That is what I tried just now. I just unplugged it and am still getting the error so I believe it might be just coincidence. If all else fails, I suppose I could just do a chkdsk on all of them and see if that helps for now.

It will take forever though so I am not sure if that will work. See copying. Also, based on this, it looks as though the drive in question is NOT on an external drive, as indicated by the mounted volumes in the beginning?
