The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block
I'm getting quite a few errors like:
The device, \Device\Harddisk0\DR0, has a bad block. and
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk0\DR0.
The machine, a PowerEdge 2650, is out of warranty. I have run scandisk on the drive and fixes are done, but the errors continue. I have read that a write cache can cause it, but it's not set in Windows. Could it be set in BIOS? If this is a real problem, is it possible to have the Dell service people fix it for a price? I don't know how to find them.
Any help would be appreciated.
