You need to update your SQL Server with latest service pack.

Check below articles:

Hi All,

its been really a hide n seek game with the errors iam receiving on this same server, i have managed to get SAN admins, network admins to see wheather there is prob with SAN or hba's, but it seems there isnt any, when i raised a ticket with MS earlier they said it cld be because of disk. The other errors which came up are:

1)IO to block (b25a4400) Failed on HardDisk(5) through Path(0) irp(fe135008).
2)An Io Request to the device \Device\HarddiskDmVolumes\PhysicalDmVolumes\B did not complete or canceled within the specific timeout. this can occur if the device driver does not set a cancel routine for a given IO request packet.

any help wld be apprieciated

These are definitely IO path errors and nothing to do with SQL Server. I can't help you if you've exhausted all avenues of investigation with your hardware diagnostics.
