CDROM paging error - Vista

Screen shot of the entry from the Vista Event Viewer is attached, and here's the link it provides as the "online info/help" option: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/su...m&ProdVer=5.2&EvtID=51&EvtSrc=cdrom&LCID=1033

This error is listed probably 40 times (or more) right in a row, all with the same timestamp. :confused

 

Could it be due to a low disc space issue?

 

I think that explains it perfectly. I have a SanDisk 4gb USB flash drive that shows up as both a storage device and a virtual CD drive (there's some pre-installed software on the virtual CD I think), so I think that is what's going on here.... probably nothing to worry about, but when I saw 40 or 50 of the same error all right in a row in the Event Viewer, I freaked out a little bit!

 

LOL I can't. Even on my home PC, I simply CANNOT keep my head in the sand. Occasional errors in the Event Viewer can be a warning of worse things to come, or at the very least they show that everything is definitely not "working" as it should be. But at my job, if someone brings me a PC and says they have problems, and these problems aren't immediately apparent by booting and farting around Windows for a bit, then I go straight to the event logs and look for evidence there. In this particular scenario, the HUGE accumulation of errors was innocuous and not a big deal, but normally when I see 40-50 of the exact same error all listed within 10sec of each other, I start to worry.... not much, just a bit, but I do start to worry!

roflmao LOL

 

LOL Well said!
