Hi Diving Loon,

We will need a new BSOD report upon the next crash, as you have changed your drive. :)

Well, it hasn't crashed in the past 30 hours, that's a good sign. I think the SP1 really helped. If it doesn't crash by tomorrow evening, I will consider this problem fixed. And just to affirm, the first post had the current drive log. My previous post had the previous drive's issues.

OK, so to bring everyone up to speed...


Northernsoul55: Both the chkdsk and the sfc /scannow command passed with no problems (check Attachments) plus I successfully upgraded to Service Pack 1.


mgorman87: Both the Generic Short & Long tests passed in SeaTools with no problems. Any idea which Ricoh driver(s) I need? I personally don't own any Ricoh devices.

x BlueRobot: Thanks for the Anti-virus software suggestions!


For my part, I did take numerous precautions while installing the drive (dust-free environment + gloves). I/O error status may have been the problem with the previous drive. I have attached another .zip file with the last 9 BSOD reports from the old drive.


The good news is that I've already backed-up my files on two USB sticks and an 80GB iPod.

Check the dell website under your model for drivers

I'm installing the Ricoh Drivers I found under the recommended updates in Windows Update. Thanks for pointing it out!

Hi Diving Loon,

hopefully its sorted for you

Enjoy your evening

Cheers

No BSODS in the past 50 hours, I think the SP1 update really helped toward stability. Thanks for the help everyone!
