  1. A device which does not exist was specified.


    I have Windows installations on two different drives both working at one point. However, now I can't boot into one of them. Whenever I try to access files on that one while booted into the other Windows installation, I get this error: "{File Path} is not accessible. A device which does not exist was specified." If anyone knows how to fix this so my drive works without reformatting, their help would be appreciated.Event Viewer Shows "An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 during a paging operation." Event ID 51 about a zillion times.Things I've tried so far:chkdsk sfc and dism fr

  2. A device which does not exist was specified

    I ran into this error - A device which does not exist was specified - while trying to access an SSD from Windows console (running a directory listing). I believe the sequence of events leading up to it was the SSD wasunplugged and replugged in after which I reran the listing from a console window already open on the drive.

    The solution seemed to be to navigate to a different drive and back again (in console) and then the listing ran fine without throwing the error.

    Problem solved (for me at least). But I wanted to ask this question so that others could discover a possible solution. I found only one other reference to this error (*) and the thread had been closed.

    Thanks very much.

    * correction: there are many references to this error - I only found a single result because I mistyped a plural: A devices which does not exist was specified

    AMD Chipset Install Error: 1316, The Specified Account Already Exists

    In Device manager, most of those from that list are signed as Microsoft drivers, probably for compatibility purposes, just like disk drive drivers.
    These are only ones from that list that I can find that is signed as AMD.
