From: Mark F on 23 Jan 2009 14:42 I am running Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3, 1GB RAM, EIDE system disk. I find that my system hangs when a data disk has an error, temporary or permanent, that requires extensive data recovery. My system and usual data disks are motherboard EIDE ports. The disks with errors are on a PCI SATA adapter. In particular, I use disks for backups and I "burn-in" the new disks by writing random data to them and then reading them. Typically there are one or two errors during the write pass that cause the system to hang for at least a minute. Sometimes there is a Event Viewer Error Event ID: 9 message with Description: "The device, \Device\Scsi\SI3114r1, did not respond within the timeout period." If I get the Event ID: 9 message there are also some Event ID: 51 Warning messages with description "An error was detected on device \Device\HarddiskX\Y during a paging operation. If I move the mouse around or otherwise get impatient I can also some Event ID: 12, Information, with description "The ring buffer that stores incoming mouse data has overflowed [buffer size is configurable via the PS/2 mouse properties in device manager]." My problem is not that there are errors on the disk, but rather that the entire system seems to hang during the error recovery. There also can be hangs that don't give any Event Viewer messages; I assume that this is because although there was a problem on the SATA disk under test, the problem was fixed in times noticeable by a human, but not so long as to get a recordable timeout error. Is there a way that I can change my system configuration so only processes doing operations on the disk doing error recovery are delayed? It doesn't seem right that the entire system hangs, given that the system disk, which is the paging disk, are on a motherboard adapter for a different interface (PATA, not SATA, in this case.) Alternatively, is there a way to reduce the timeout time so that I can get more Event Viewer messages. For completeness: The most recent disks that I have had the problem were Seagate ST31500341AS drives various part numbers and firmware. However, I don't think that the hang is due to the particular model disk. I have had the problem with other model SATA drives from Seagate and Western Digital.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description are important.
