Hi, was this disk ever a clone of another? That could give rise to this. See:

windows - Cloned disk - duplicate disk signature, how to resolve? - Super User

@dalchina no but one disk did have a windows system install not sure what disk 3 is one of my disk in the docking station had a old windows install, that i erased and formatted to use as a backup drive, the other disk is just a backup drive period and none were ever clones at all. now they are both Samsung drives and the odd thing they both have same serial number, could that be it? not sure other wise what it could really be.

- - - Updated - - -

um none of them have the same disk identifier i went into cmd administrator did diskpart list disk followed by select disk did this for each one along with the UNIQUEID DISK on each one and there all different here is a screen shot um so what to do now??

If you follow the advice in the log you cited, it ->
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...cal-disk-guids

from this search - which lists more possible explanations/actions
https://support.microsoft.com/search...uery=KB2983588

Can you access the disk at all?

If not, you might be perhaps be able to from a live boot disk or even Safe Mode, perhaps in a simpler hardware configuration

@dalchina i have full disk access yes it works 100% so what do you think maybe just a general error that windows is spitting out ??

dalchina · 05 Jun 2020

The link I posted above is the interpretation of the error message in your first post. It's obscure to me though.

I followed this:

@dalchina yeah is why i came here very obscure

dalchina · 05 Jun 2020

Hmm, from that page, Microsoft Multipath I/O - relates to Windows Server.... odd.

How did you come across that error message? What prompted you to look for it?

Tonyb · 05 Jun 2020

@dalchina i was just browsing the event viewer and seen Disk in there and figured maybe related to the disk error in windows 2004 that some are getting for defrag of ssd , but when opening it this error was in there.

Well, if you don't have problems accessing it, perhaps you can simply ignore it. Often there are many events, not all signficant. Ideally someone familiar with it would be able to give an opinion. Sorry, can't help more..
