USB Error ID 51 .. during a paging operation
Whenever I try and backup my laptop to a USB drive I get error 51 (An error was detected on device ...during a paging operation) in the event log and my backup fails. I’ve tried with multiple USB drives and different backup software including Acronis True Image, Freecoms NTI Shadow 3 and the Windows 7 Backup tool. Each time a series of Event ID 51’s appear after a period of time and stops the backup.
Ive read other threads which suggested installing Hotfix 976972, but again this hasn’t fixed the problem. I have already tried Safe Mode and this has made no difference. The USB controllers have also been removed, and re-installed, but again no joy. I even tried copying the data in My Documents to a USB drive and that caused exactly the same event to be generated.
It would seem that there are other Users out there with exactly the same problem, but I haven’t come across a fix yet. Not being able to backup my laptop is a major concern and I’m thinking of reverting back to XP.
The problems started just over 2 weeks ago after a couple of months of problem free usage. I’m running Windows 7 32bit and have 4GB RAM.
Any thoughts?
