Hi all!

We are developing a storage controller. In the process of testing the driver, we found this error message in the event log:
“the device, \Device\Harddisk3\DR5, has a bad block”

I know it is from our controller. However, I don’t know what partition or hard drive is bad by just looking at this error message. It is very hard to detect whether it is a hardware or software problem. Can someone help me please?

Thanks
Vu

Try using WINOBJ or OBJDIR to determine the correllation between this device
object and the actual device it’s on. You can also use DEVICETREE to find
out where in the stack this device object resides, and infer from their the
actual piece of media involved.

The above area all tools in the DDK or SDK.
