Kernel_data_inpage_error

Hi This is my Spec

Abit BD7 Motherboard
1.8ghz P4
512 DDR RAM
16x CD writer
2x 40gb hard drive
1x 120 gb hard drive
midi man delta 66 sound card
soundblaster sound card

Primary master = 40gb harddrive
Primary slave = 40 gb hard drive
Secondary master = cd writer
secondary slave = 120 gb harddrive

After purchasing a new 120gb harddrive, i decided to remove the partition on the primary master drive, so that it was back to its original state, so i had plenty of room for a fresh install of WinXp Pro, and give me space for games. Whilst doing this i ran into a problem on restarting an error message appeared saying my "NTLDR is missing", anyway i tried everything and ended up placing the primary master drive into another computer and formatting it, i then installed windows xp onto it.

I placed it back into my computer installed all the drivers for my pci cards etc. and some appz. After using the computer for about 30mins a hard drive (persumably the primary master) decided to go crazy a bsod appeared with the following error:

Kernel_data_inpage_error

technical
Stop: 0x0000007A (0XE14D1CBC,0X000000E, 0XBF8F5C8F, 0X15D80860)

Win32k.sys

Address BF8F5C8F base of BF800000, Date Stamp 3B7De698

Beginning dump of physical data...


I decided to restart the computer, i found it the ide drives could not be found so i had to turn the computer off by removing the power lead for 10 secs, then i turned it back on and they were recognised and windows started as normal, i carried on using the computer when about 2 hours later the same error appeared.

I then made sure all jumpers were set correctly, and they were. I restarted. I left the computer on for 2 days solid and no problem, but halfway throught the third day the computer came up with the same error.

Now i've looked on various tech forums, and tried the microsoft webpage, can't seem to work out, but i did find out how to find your event properties, i found this under a warning sign:

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

Also under a stop sign:
"The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within the timeout period."

I asume my drive has had it?

Anyone got any ideas?

[reboot]

Nope, the drive is probably fine.
The problem is the install of XP on the other computer left all it's hardware settings intact, and the possibility that the pagefile cannot do it's job, because of the resized partition.
Try reducing the size of the pagefile, or let Windows handle it, and then run a repair install of XP.
This should sort it out.

sorry when i said i had installed windows, i meant i had done it on my machine rather than my friends, i only used his to format it. sorry i worded it wrong. shall i still do a repair job?
