The device, \Device\Harddisk2\D, is not ready for access yet.

Event Viewer has many entries of error ID 15, which States:
The device, \Device\Harddisk2\D, is not ready for access yet.

What does that mean?  Is this an indication of imminent drive failure?

Hello

·         Did you of recent changes to the computer before the show?

Method 1: Check that all connectors (power and IDE) should be firmly fixed. Disconnect and reconnect to check.

Method 2: As short-term solution, try to shut down the system, turn the power off, turn on the power and restart. If the device still does not work then it is probably a problem of material, the device or card/main controller card (or possibly the cable connection) will need to be replaced. If the device seems to work then this indicates a problem of software or firmware. Do not forget that the problem can recur again unless the root causes addressed.

Method 3: Update the latest version of the device driver (if there is one).
Check on the Web site of the vendor for a newer driver and if it is available then load it.

    Hi KarlMaskery,

    1. When you receive the error message?

    2. you have any external hard drive connected to the computer?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    4 when was the last time it was working fine?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Have you installed the driver from LabVIEW or copied directly from inst.lib?

    The first is easier, and you don't have to restart LV more...

    Error in a not filled gpib address points. I have not checked if this driver has a resource name visa or a string of gpib address old but in the first case, try the little triangle on the right at the slect address instead of by hand.

  • Writable failing Volumes and Appstacks with "the device object parameter is not a valid object" at the launch of a .exe

    Previously, this error had been random between Appstacks and accessible volumes in writing, but became extremely coherent.   The full message is something like:

    The device object parameter is not a valid object or is not attached to the volume specified by the file name.

    This accessible volume in writing will occur in a profile only (and UIA + profile) try to download and install the application, or what UIA only is only enabled when you try to run the installed applications.   It's almost as if the volume is not read/write permissions, but other information, such as the request for detailed information about the profiles are stored and used correctly.

  • Firefox beta 35. not ready for prime time.

    I spent all weekend trying to get the beta version of Firefox 35 to work. What I found is that * extensions of all it does not work with the exception of the maintenance of the premises. I can't download any extension that Firefox is so famous. The error is something like "unable to install"plugin-name"in its current state." Activation of any extension requires a FF reboot, same places maintenance. Try to remove an extension fails and must be done manually.

    I'm on Windows 7 Premium desktop Firefox 32 bits. I've 'committed' myself to 35 FF last night (which means history and cache out of settling because did not work it extension "expire history by days'), when I found out that 35 played well with some sites using Flash. It was a capricious thing. Many sites worked as usual, but some would not. Examples:
    http://www.Wunderground.com/us/Wi/La_Crosse.html

    http://www.weather.com/weather/5day/l/Hustler+Wi+54637:4:us

    First time I have had a problem with a version beta of Firefox, but it's definitely not ready for prime time. I realize FF tries to get away from what we call 'Exclusive Modules' but 35 FF in its current state just fill in Support of Moz forums with millions of complaints (guess I'm one of the first). I now have 1 extension (the only one that works on 35), the above mentioned "Site Maintenance".

    I thought you might like this report as 'user input '. God knows I've tried... I have downloaded 35 at least a dozen times and then was forced to 34.0.5. So I'm back on 34.0.5

    I presented a report bug here:
    https://Bugzilla.Mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108196

    I would like to know if anyone else is having these problems or anyone needs more information. I'd love to help solve this problem. I know that some of you good support people have probably tried to 35. You experience the same difficulties?

    The true is that these two changes will not work with windows7 I encounter the same problems of lag that I had until I got disabling the nagle algorithm and tcpackfrenquency resulted as expected in Windows 7, so that "online players", we live a latency high with this OS (windows 7 rc1) in games like World of Warcraft (12 million users) , Aion (8 million testers), Vanguard: Saga of Heroes and EverQuest II. So my question is this, how can it improve our time of latency levels that we are able to do so in windows vista and XP afer applying patches.

    Could someone tell me, why windows7 is not ready for the games online "mmorpg"?

    I tried every single problem I found online and still nothing... I have the latency of 400-500 on average, before with XP I had the average of 100-150 Ms.  Something wrong with Windows 7!
