I decided to look at my event viewer for some reason today, and I noticed this error: "The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk2\DR2 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent." I just did a quick search and someone else had this problem, but it was related to their floppy drive. Ironically, my floppy drive has recently making odd noises like it's trying to access something on startup/shutdown.. anybody know if \Device\Harddisk2\DR2 is actually my floppy? And if it's not, how can I tell what drive it is?

I wouldn't 'not worry' about it...I'd backup any important data on that drive you don't want to lose....then I'd 'not worry' about it.
