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

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.

    please see the last two replies. it seems like people are frustrated since i don't install various software without question, etc. I understand troubleshooting involves trial and error, but i just don't want to keep having more problems that occur (which I have been running into in the last year). Last year, I had a system become corrupted, and it was repaired after an update, and then it became more corrupted and hardware failures occurred. There was a pattern of hardware failures with more windows updates as well.

    Then this year, on a new system, i have seen more errors with new windows updates. I have also seen so many problems with updates, i realized in this thread, that a long time ago, i had to reinstall a driver that was not able to be installed since somehow an internet connection became disabled outside of safe mode due to an uninstalled driver. Then i found out that a hard drive that is fairly new seems to be degrading by one of the tests. page fault error or whatever may be caused by something to do with an external drive, but windows should not keep re-initiating explorer crashes after it stops for various reasons.

    Then also some hard drive should not degrade in less than a year. If windows updates are a primary cause for a degrading hard drive as well, then something is wrong. previous laptops did not seem to have this happen. i did not test health of hard drives before like this, but the last hard drive that i had go bad started doing so after 6 years as far as i can tell (not 1 year). maybe i should check the health on the system i am trying to transfer from that no longer has replaceable parts.
