I've tried a few different brands / models of USB flash drives on my
notebook computer (Dell Latitude C840), each one results in a blue screen of
death.
A co-worker has the same model of laptop, also running Windows XP (not sure
which service pack), and he has no problems at all. They are good working
flash drives.
Neither rebooting with a flash drive in the USB port nor hot-insertion of a
flash drive could be accomplished successfully until I installed SP2. Now
with SP2 I can boot with a flash drive but I still cannot perform
hot-insertion without a blue screen of death.
XP seems to be using generic removeable storage device drivers when
detecting the flash drives.
XP has no problem with my external hard drive for which I primarily use
Fireware but it also runs fine with USB.
If anyone could help me identify how to resolve hot insertion of flash
drives, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jon
