The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I am having the following error "The device, \Device\Harddisk0, has a bad block." what could it be?

Asked by morarc in Windows 2003 Server, Hard Drives & Storage, Computer Servers

Tags: HP, Windows 2003, domain controller, Hard drive, bad block, RAID

I am having problems with my domain controller taking an excessive long time to boot.
In the system log it shows that my Domain Controller has been receiving "The device, \Device\Harddisk0, has a bad block."

I subsequently ran ChkDsk which last 7 hours. Once finished the system rebooted and a second ChkDsk began. I decided to stop it and boot into Windows then I got a "service did not start error.

I noticed that under computer management the E: partition did not display the file system type "NTFS" or its file size "30gb". I have a an HP Proliant DL380 which has a built in RAID Utilities, under those utilities the status normally shows "optimal" but is now showing Degraded 

What do you guys think it could be? I am thinking that HD0 needs to be replaced but then again I am trying to see if there are any other things I can try before having to do that. I am attaching my system log in excel format .
