hEY GMan did you figure away to get rid of the annoying (every 30 seconds) pop up os a Windows- Device Timeout saying
"The specified I/O operation on \Device\Harddisk2\DR19 was not completed before the time-out period expired"
if so I could use some wisdom garnered at the school of hard knocks whats the magic ...actually anyone ??..??

How much are you overclocked? Have you tried setting it back?

I haven't overclocked at all ive got the a fairly new box with
1 gig memory
AMD 3200 64
TWO 200 GIG HD
2 200 GIG EXTERNAL HD (FULLEST ONE IS ABOUT 90%)
A VERY FAST INTERNET CONNECTION AT T3 SPEED

MAYBE IT DOESN'T LIKE NOT BEING OVERCLOCKED (LOL)

check your hard disk number 2 - connections, data and type - is it a dynamic drive?

Heh, this threads still goin? Wow. Well I never solved my problem, but it did solve itself. One day it just stopped happening and now everything's back to normal. This was, however, after installing windows xp on another hdd, and then reverting to the old one to get some files off... then i noticed it worked fine again and have put it down to a slowly failing mobo or slowly failing hdd.... either way i don't mind
