I can access the server in safe mode. I have a Proliant 360 Hp server with Windows server 2003 R2.

The event viewer is completely filled up with this error: the driver detected a controller error on Device\Harddisk3\DR3

I individuated the drive affected. It is drive H that is a secondary non mirrored drive.

When I access anything on that drive I receive: "the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error"

What should I do? Is this just a driver issue or a hard drive failure?

Please give me a quick help as my websites are offline due to this.

Any suggestion is welcome!
