The Knowledge Base at: http://www.dantz.com/en/support/index.dtml may also

I have had continuing problems with Dantz Retrospect Express HD that
have not been solved by the Maxtor or Dantz KB's.

My computer will not boot if the OnetouchII drive has powered down.
I have to turn off the drive then turn it on then reboot.

Whenever a scheduled backup attempts to run, I get a BSOD
(Blue Screen Of Death) and have to power off the computer (3 fingered
salute does not work). Manual backups do work.

My computer no longer recognises the Firewire connection - I have to
use the USB. There is something about this in the KB but Microsoft
want to charge me for the fix. I don't think that's fair.

I have now uninstalled both Dantz Retrospect and the Maxtor utilities
and just use the drive with Ghost 2003 for backup.

If you want to persevere, you might try making sure the OnetouchII
drive is running before the Dantz software tries to backup - just turn
it off then on again before doing a backup. That might work.
