“An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk4\D during a paging operation.”

I have been getting this error for a few weeks. The error shows up in the XP Event Viewer, which you can get to by choosing Run off the Start menu, entering “cmd” and then typing “%SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc /s” into the Command Prompt box (omitting the quotation marks). Choose “System” to see the errors. I was getting the error message about every 40 seconds.

Harddisk 4 is in my case an external, USB hard drive. The problem turned out not to be the hard drive. Check your USB cable. Mine was ok, so I got a new enclosure for the drive — the macally PHR 100AC — and hooked it up to a firewire port. So far, it seems to be working perfectly. And the case is a solid piece of work.
