Windows 7 – How to identify drive device from event log?

I have a messages about drive errors in the Windows Event log, like this:

ย 

Bad Block On Device DeviceHarddisk0DR0

I have two hard drives in the system. How can I know which one causes these errors? I see nowhere the same identification type, like here.

For example, the following are dialogs from Device Manager:

enter image description here

Can I be sure it is drive C since it is “Disk 0”?

Solution:

You can be certain that the error message DeviceHarddisk0DR0 is referencing Disk 0 as listed in the Disk Management MMC (Run > diskmgmt.msc). The Harddisk# syntax always refers to the disk number, but keep in mind this will be the disk number involved in the error message at the time the error was logged. If for any reason the offending disk’s number changes between the time of the error and when you review Device Manager, you would blame the wrong disk.
