I just cleaned up a Presario 5852. It had a pretty good dose of spyware.
I don't know if that is pertinent or not since this problem existed both
before and after I cleaned it up. It has a DVD Rom which is original
equipment and an added CDRW drive. Cable select cable and both drives
jumpered for CD. When you insert a CD in the DVD drive, you get an
unrecoverable BSOD. The CDRW drive works alright. If I boot from a
startup disk, both drives work OK. A boot CD will work in either drive,
so it must be a Windows thing.
This is a 550Mhz machine with 128Mb ram.
Right now I'm doing a repair install on it (SE) but I don't really expect
that to fix it. I imagine it's something in the registry that a repair
install won't change.
Any ideas?
