    Specified I/O operation not completed
    I see the help here but want to understand what caused it. Currently I'm virus scanning an external hard drive (that is the HD out of my laptop). What I/O operation is it speaking of? The virus scan is still going on no problem - except that it's taking forever.

    PS - the hard drive in question is F. I have no clue what DR2 is. Is this error referring, do you think, to the external I have plugged in? Or is it referring to the HD in my computer?

    More likely an external and the USB crapped out for a bit.

    With each passing hour I'm feeling closer to having to spend some big bucks to retrieve the data from this drive. :( Here's my original problem. It's looking more and more like a hardware problem than a virus or something.

Hello, I have a Janitrol model A30-08 furnace. On the AC side, when the thermostat calls for cooling, sometimes the blower kicks on, sometimes not. The evaporator coils always cool down (to the point of icing if I don't intervene), so that part is working fine. When the blower doesn't come on,...
