Hi
For several days now, both my DVD drives have been crashing my system.
What's strange is that one is internal and connected I think a typical IDE
drive and the other is external and connects via a USB or firwire port.
What happens is that the second the internal drive door closes with a disc,
I get a blue screen error....and with the external drive, it happens the
second I plug it into a port.
So far I've done the "USB dance by disconnecting all USB stuff, uninstalling
all USB drivers and rebooting 2x. No change. Also, all other USB
peripherals work fine....

I can only suggest that you start your quest here:

Thanks for the reply......
Unfortunately, the only thing that I thought would work was trying to
re-install Windows XP (or fixing it?) but since the computer shuts down as
soon as the Cd drawer closes, that won't work:-)
I'm thinking that the problem may be an bas power supply. I was hoping
someone here might also suggest the same or another possability.
Thanks

Solved!
Turns out it was an erant file from the Sonic MyDVD program that I never
use. I found this out because whenever it would crash to the blue screen, it
mentioned a file.... tfsnpool.sys
I did a search for that file, checked it's properties and found it was put
there by Sonic and had something to do with the drive letter. So I renamed
the files, which was probably taking a big chance, deleted everything Sonic
related and all is well.....
