Go back to the categories of Error Identifiers.

DISK ERR1

Error Description: CD-ROM, DISK, or R/W OPTICAL DRIVE OPERATION ERROR

This error is recorded by the SCSI disk device driver in the event of a media error.

DETAIL DATA

Sense Data The sense data consists of failure data which is analyzed by the Diagnostic Programs.

DISK ERR2

Error Description: CD-ROM, DISK, or R/W OPTICAL DRIVE FAILURE

This error is recorded by the SCSI disk device driver in the event of a physical hardware error.

DETAIL DATA

Sense Data The sense data consists of failure data which is analyzed by the Diagnostic Programs.

DISK ERR3

Error Description: CD-ROM, DISK, or R/W OPTICAL DRIVE FAILURE

This error is recorded by the SCSI disk device driver in the event of an adapter detected failure.

DETAIL DATA

Sense Data Sense data is not applicable for this error. Zeros are recorded.

DISK ERR4

Error Description: CD-ROM, DISK, or R/W OPTICAL RECOVERED ERROR

This error is recorded by the SCSI disk device driver in the event of a recovered error. Either the device or the device driver recovered the data.

DETAIL DATA

Sense Data The sense data consists of failure data which is analyzed by the Diagnostic Programs.

DISK ERR5

Error Description: UNDETERMINED ERROR

This error is recorded by the SCSI disk device driver in the event of an unknown failure.

DETAIL DATA

Sense Data Sense data is not applicable for this error. Zeros are recorded.

IDE DISK ERR1

Error Description: DISK OPERATION ERROR

This error is recorded by the IDE disk device driver when a media error has been detected.

DETAIL DATA

Status Validity and ATA Command Data
                          The status validity and ATA command data contain information about the failed command which may be analyzed by diagnostic programs.

IDE DISK ERR2

Error Description: SOFTWARE ERROR

This error is recorded by the IDE disk device driver when a disk has aborted a command. This can occur when a disk rejects an unsupported command. It can also indicate a failure in the disk drive or IDE controller electronics.

DETAIL DATA

Status Validity and ATA Command Data
                          The status validity and ATA command data contain information about the failed command which may be analyzed by diagnostic programs.

IDE DISK ERR3

Error Description: DISK FAILURE

This error is recorded by the IDE disk device driver in response to a failure that is neither a media error nor an aborted command. It can occur when a disk drive has suffered a hardware failure.

DETAIL DATA

Status Validity and ATA Command Data
                          The status validity and ATA command data contain information about the failed command which may be analyzed by diagnostic programs.

IDE DISK ERR4

Error Description: DISK FAILURE RECOVERED DURING RETRY

This error is recorded by the IDE disk device driver in the event of a recovered error. Either the disk or the device driver recovered the error.

DETAIL DATA

Status Validity and ATA Command Data
                          The status validity and ATA command data contain information about the failed command which may be analyzed by diagnostic programs.
