NEED THE INTERNET'S HELP - Event Viewer Problem Win 8 vs. Win 7


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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.

Tried it, and am still receiving the error. :s

So just to check. In Disk Management, what drive shows up as disk 1?

Disk 0: Seagate Momentus XT 500GB

Disk 1: Intel 330 Series SSD 120GB

Disk 2: (External) Seagate GoFlex Desk 2TB

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?

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. ;)

LOL

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.)

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.

Just to clarify what I was saying earlier. 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).

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
