Morty, looking through my event log, I saw this message:

An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation.
and
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation.

Would that be what you are talking about? Is there any way to know which drive it is referring to? if the "\D" is referring to the drive letter, then why would it use Harddisk0 or 1? Also, I haven't had troubles with my D drive, so that seems strange.

Harddisk 0 and 1 are the physical drives themselves. (I believe)

I'm not up to speed with the issue you were (or still are) having. I must say I've never seen that error. Did it just come up during a checkdisk or something?

Confirmed. Hard drive is going bad. You found your problem. Back up now while the getting is very good. Or recreate you paging file in your system properties and see if it clears. I highly doubt it.

You can easily tell what Drive letter is associated with HD0 or HD1.
Right Click My Computer
Click Manage
Click Disk Management

I have scanned some google and "D" doesn't necessarily refer to your D Drive.
Morty is right its most likely the HD going bad.

Well, harddisk0 and harddisk1 refer to the original HDDs I purchased when I built the computer. The thing is this: the problem I reported having a few weeks ago only occurred in one of the partitions on harddisk1. I haven't had any trouble or errors from any of the other partitions. Furthermore, after running check disk on the partition that I was having issues with, I came away with no problems.

Morty, how would I recreate my paging file? Also, I would just like to mention something very odd. While trying to figure out how to recreate the paging file, I was looking through all the trees in the computer management tool. Well in Services and Applications>Indexing Service>System I found something quite strange: I have a System Volume Information folder on my G drive. I tried opening the folder, and access is denied.

I am NOT looking forward to possibly purchasing new and ghosting old harddrives--low on cash, and it doesn't make sense purchasing such small drives (not cost-effective).

You can solve this problem by recreating the pagefile. To re-create the pagefile, follow these steps (take note to the settings before you reset):
Click Start.
Right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
On the Advanced tab, in the Performance section, click Settings.
In the Virtual Memory section, click Change.
For Paging file size for selected drive, click No Paging File, and then click Set.
Click Yes after the following warning appears:
If the paging file on volume X: has an initial size of less than xx megabytes, then the system may not be able to create a debugging information file if a STOP error occurs. Continue anyway?

(X is the drive letter and xx is the amount of RAM installed on your computer minus 1 megabyte.)
Click System Managed Size.
Click OK four times, and then restart the computer when you are prompted.
You can manually establish your settings that you took note to before began.

Well, it started again. Last night I installed a small game (Crayon Physics -- pretty fun, btw) on my games partition, and I started getting hangs while I was playing. The weird thing is this: I only got the hangs while in full screen mode. Once I switch to windowed, I didn't. Anyway, I checked the event log and there were a bunch of warnings with the event ID 51. I haven't yet had the time to check if it happens with older-installed games, or if it would happen if I installed it onto a different partition. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I ran checkdisk on the games partition and it didn't find any bad sectors.

Well, with all that said, I am wondering this: Is it possible to ghost multiple drives and partitions onto a new drive? My main objective here is: I have too many programs installed, so I want to avoid having to reinstall all of them. Furthermore, the total space (320gb) on the two hard disks that are giving the errors is less than the space (500gb) on one jumbo drive. Funds are tight and I am looking to be cost-efficient. Thanks for the help guys!

You should be able to ghost everything as long as the old drive is still in good shape and the new one is at least equal or greater than the old one. Ghost 12 or greater should take care of that. If it fails you know you have a hardware problem.

PCI x16 is compatible with 2.0 slots...You just don't get all the shaders with x16 that you would with 2.0...I ran a 7800GT in my 2.0 slot before getting the 280GTX I now have...Got that puppy on a one day sale at zipzoomfly...After rebate, paid $150 for it...Noice...
