Update drivers for your hardware, especially the idechn.sys driver ( I don't know which hardware's driver it is.). Also see *support.microsoft.com/kb/834938/

sorry, its not idechn.sys, it is idechndr.sys

and this error shows up after a specific amount of time(haven't calculated that though).....either it wont show or show up after a specific time

okay, i googled the driver and found out that the driver belongs to intel application accelerator......
now, i hv the latest intel app. acc.....should i reinstall it???? and would it make any performance difference if i uninstall it?

okay...i resolved the problem...the driver belonged to the intel application accelerator, as mentioned below....
so i suspected it must be something with bad sectors...
so i dwnlded the desktop tools from seagate which fix sectors and voila!no error like that
