Allan Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Called Microsoft Tech Support, as I've had around 100 'Warnings' a day in the event viewer about Source: Disk, Description: The IO operation at logical block address 8ea3e8 for Disk 1 was retried. (the bolded area changes every time.) EDIT : THERE IS NO FREEZING OF MY SYSTEM. SMART, and Intel's Disk Diagnostic, and sfc /scannow all come back 100% "fine", with no errors, etc. EDIT: The disk is an Intel 330 SSD. It's runing in AHCI mode, and under Win 7 had NO issues of this sort. (I check my logs religiously ... ie on Sundays, after church.) Part of phone conversation: MS: This is normal. Me: This didn't show up/happen in Windows 7. MS: Oh, that's because logging in Windows 8 is different. So my request for the NW community is thus: EVERYONE please, check your EVENT VIEWER > Windows Logs > System. Click the "Source" header to sort ... or use a FILTER and beside "by source" select disk (with a lowercase d). Post back here a few things. 1: Windows Version 2: Hard Drive (Type (SSD/HDD), Manufacture (Intel, WD, Seagate, etc) 3: Did you see the error "The IO operation at logical block address [RANDOM ADDRESS] for Disk 1 was retried." Thank you in advance, for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stumper66 Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 You have a bad hard drive. No need to run a poll on other people's behaviors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Veteran Posted October 31, 2012 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2012 I do not have any disk events since I upgraded to Windows 8. The last one I have is dated 9/20/2012 and it's for a USB thumb drive. What type of drive is that disk, and have you scanned it to make sure there's nothing wrong with it?

Allan Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 http://scottiestech....-worked-for-me/ Not the issue, there (as I edited in P1) no freezing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Nokes Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Not the issue, there (as I edited in P1) no freezing, etc. Read his post carefully. While you may not be getting the freezes, the post does address tye specific error you mentioned. I would at least try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_vader Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 When using my usb stick I get the same warning, no errors or problems though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Nokes Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 So just to check. In Disk Management, what drive shows up as disk 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Nokes Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Hmm. I checked mine and I do see an entry like that once. It looks like in my case it was for a thumb drive though. Looking again at your log that is a ton of them. Have you done a long test on the HD already, or just a short one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intel Toolbox Quick Diagnostic & Long Diagnostic, SMART Check, sfc /scannow, and I turned off the laptop, did a headstand, holding the SSD chanting something someone in Africa said would stop the problem ... no change, except my head hurts now. ;) Denis W. 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted October 31, 2012 Veteran Share Posted October 31, 2012 http://scottiestech....-worked-for-me/ Interesting link. I did notice a load of storahci events when attempting to connect a SSD via a toaster dock to my computer. (Actually for that matter, it occurs each time I connect a mechanical drive via the toaster, but only occurs once. For the SSD it was frequent and made the drive unusable.)

Allan Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 My thoughs are thus: Using Disk Manager, I'm going to shrink drive 0 (Momentus XT), and move files from "D" to the partitioned area. Move windows to the XT drive, and see if I have problems. If not, then I'll just sell the Intel 330 and say "meh" to SSD's for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system drive in my desktop is an Intel SSD. I don't think the fact that it is an SSD is necessarily a problem. it could be a driver, controller, port, or cable issue as well.

I used to have Win 7 on this drive, and in the same spot, and it had no problems. I don't know ... I'll just keep poking away at things, I guess. I REALLY wish Asus would release Win 8 drivers for it's systems (i.e. my laptop is the G53SW-A1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
