Event ID 11: Message: The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk2\DR266.

On a Dell XPS 8700 I keep getting an Message The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk2\DR266. The hard drive number is always crazy.  I checked the C: drive and didn't get an error. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas? The machine is in a workgroup and the files he is trying to access are on a workgroup server. No one else is having issues,

the error is always on device 1-4. Never disk 0
no comment on my post??
DVD?

In disk management what is reflected for disk2??

Does the event correspond to insertion of an external USB storage stick or externally connected storage device?
