Sounds like a reasonable explanation - but why would problems only start recently if this is the case? Are systems able to switch from master to slave automatically? This problem occurs on a system where Windows XP is installed on a hard disk that is configured as a subordinate ("slave", and no other device is connected to the same IDE controller channel (primary or secondary).įrom Microsoft Knowlege Base 330100 Looks like you are set on slave" "Re: KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR - 0xC000000E code.

Also you might notice some or all of the following, slow OS and application load times, maybe even an occational "clicking" from your hard drive louder than a normal read/write sound, you may also see ATAPI errors in your System event log where the hard drive didn't respond to the OS in a time manner. What is happening is your drive is getting errors now and then and there is corruption in your page file.
The BIOS may even not recognize it at that piont (controller) or if it's the motor structure the BIOS will find it but the PC will give a NO BOOT DEVICE error or something like that. Your current drive will continue to give you problems until one day it will finally just crap out altogether.
If you can, get another hard drive and image your current PC to the new drive.you'll see the Blue Screens disappear. Actually I hate to tell you but your hard drive IS going bad and the standard HD diag tools are crap-they will not tell you if it's a periodic error or a controller problem.
