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

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. ;)

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).

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      See if this article I wrote the other day works for you.
