what is this error: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk2\DR3 during a paging operation.

Anonymous

a seperate error was this:

The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: F:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume7.

Failure status: A device which does not exist was specified.

Device GUID: {390d3b88-0b14-a800-2004-644fa477ceb8}

Device manufacturer: Seagate

Device model: Expansion

Device revision: 1805

Device serial number: NA8NLPKP

Bus type: USB

Adapter serial number:

But at the time of the error in the subject, i was not copying data to this system. at the time of the second error in the body of this post, i was searching an external drive, it did that. it was connected, except i did probably unplug it, so that might be the case. However, i don't get why the paging this is going on.

Hi Joshua. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, here to help you.
1. Check the Virtual Memory settings to see if the drive has a paging file. These tutorials will show you how, and how to optimize Virtual Memory best:

1. Check for file system errors by running a Disk Check on all drives:

1. If many errors then Test the hard drive or SSD with diagnostics:

HP and Dell have hardware diagnostics triggered by tapping the ESC or F12 keys respectively as you power on.

Best is to use the HDD/SSD manufacturer's own if there is one, otherwise use Seatools bootable long test: http://blog.nowherelan.com/2013/04/04/boot-seat...

Feel free to ask back any questions. Based on the results you post back I may have other suggestions if necessary.
