Disk & Atapi error

I'm translating this from dutch so I'm not exactly sure if I'm using the right words to describe the problem.

When I open the Microsoft Management Console and look in the following root "Sytemtools -> Logfiles -> System" I'm seeing a lot of errors with "disk" as its source.

I can right click these items and check their properties for more info and then it'll say "the driver found an error in \Device\Harddisk0\D." See "Help and support at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlinks/events.asp for more info" (don't go and actually click that link, it doesn't really do anything :x: )

When I click that link it'll just forward me to a page which only tells me "Sorry, there doesn't exist any support about this subject, but thanks for looking for it anyway :confused: , please refer to the links under support for more info about this subject" I looked further there but it was all to no avail. The only thing helpfull on that last page is some error id, that's 11

While I'm here, I see an error within source: "atapi" too, futher inspection will lead me to nowhere again, but I'll list the info I got anyway, it's description in properties is "parityfault on Device\Ide\Ideport0" and it's corresponding id is 5 in this case.

Both problems don't cause any strange problems though, but since I this is my first homebuilt computer it does bother me a little.


Can anyone help me with this? If you actually read through all this, thanks for looking into this
 
Is you computer actualy affected in any way.
In other words - is your computer not running correctly?

Are you experiencing any problems?
 
Yes, everything seems to be working properly, it's just the fact that there are so many entries concerning that source.

On the other hand, my floppy drive hasn't been working properly for a while, it's being recognized by windows and is visible in "My computer" and in BIOS even the light is working on the device itself, putting any floppys in results in nothing, I can't read them no matter what I do. I never bother looking into it, because I never use the darn thing though.
 
If the floppy's light is on constantly it could be because you connected it the wrong way..... maybe that is why it will not read anything?
 
I was thinking the same too, have to check on that later now I got the advice from a more experienced person, because the light is on constantly.

Can you help me with that other problem too?
 
See if the attached image helps.
