Here is the full message: A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. Plug and Play detected an error most likely caused by a faulty driver.

You are going to have to try to identify the problematic driver.
Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties, Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code? Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not checked. Do you have a Windows XP CD? Does it include the SP2 update or did you download later? Are there any corresponding error reports in Event Viewer?

Stop 0x000000CA
Hi Nass,
Thank you for your time. I have tried the tips provided but unfortunately the problem is still there. First I cannot connect the two same size USB drives together, because immediately system crashes, if both are connected system crashes as soon as Windows loads. Let me tell you my findings so far. 1. Two USB hard disks of same size partitions crash the system with the blue screen and Stop 0x000000CA. Try it on your Windows XP, I bit on it. (both disks type should be Fixed Disk) 2. Two USB hard disks of different partition sizes, works fine. 3. Two USB Hard disks of same size but disk type Removable Disk works fine. Power issue is not relevant here and I have tried 3 USB hard disks of different sizes, works fine. However, if any two USB drives have same size partitions and the disk type is Fixed Disk, then the system crashes. Microsoft has fixed this exact issue in Windows Server 2003. However, it appears they are not aware of the same issue in Windows XP. Microsoft article that is related to this issue is: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898446 . The only difference is it relates to 2003 Server and same problem is for XP too which there is no fix out so far. I appreciate all your efforts and time to help out. You are welcome to try connecting two same size USB drives (fixed disks) and experience the findings. Thanks, Obaid. "nass" wrote: "Obaid" wrote: Hi, Thanks for your quick response.

If the drives are connected alone, no problem. But as soon as the second one is connected alongside the other one, system crashes with the above blue screen. Windows Vista is fine no problem, 2003 SP2 fine, no problem. Only XP SP2 has this problem. Thanks, Obaid.

Right click on the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced, Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before Automatically Restart. Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message. An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during StartUp and select option - Disable automatic restart on system failure. -- Hope this helps.

When connecting to USB hard disks with same partition sizes, Windows crashes with blue screen Stop 0x000000CA. The exact problem has been reported to Microsoft with Windows 2003 Server. However, for Windows XP there is no mentioning of this issue. Article ID : 898446 Last Review : March 27, 2007 Revision : 3.0 Please help. This is the exact issue as discussed in the above article. We need a fix for Windows XP. Thank you all in advance. Hi, This could be for many reasons * Power supply= not enough power to the to Power the USB Ex HDD,. * IRQ conflict. Try to Set the Internet HDD to Master ( if they are not already been set) then the External HDDs to slave or cable select. Rename the atapi.sys to atapi.old and Reboot while the two USB HDD are connected. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817197 Inserting the Same SmartMedia Adapters Causes a "Stop 0x000000CA" Error Message http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=326457 Error message when you try to open files on an NTFS file system volume http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930916 sdi.sys located in this path: C:\ WINDOWS\ system32\ drivers\ sdi.sys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Services\ SDI= Storage Device Image Driver Manually Installing the SDI Driver: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms940859.aspx C:\Windows\System32\drivers\Rtlnicxp.sys ( Not rthincxp.sys) = Realtek 10/100/1000 NDIS 5.1 Driver. http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windo...OD-Errors.html alcxwdm.sys Avance Logic, Inc = Sound Card ialmnt4.sys ( Not iamlmnt4.sys) = Graphic Card by Intel HTH. nass ----- www.nasstec.co.uk |

Stop 0x000000CA
Hi Ron,
Thank you for your input. So far from all the feedback and trying out all options, I can say with full confidence that this issue would occur in any Windows XP system. Only if two same size partition USB hard disks are connected at the same time. (The disk type must be Fixed Disk) It even happens if you connect two USB flash disks (the flash disk partition must be fixed-disk not Removable disk). Please try it for yourself if you have the resources. If a magical fix comes up, I would be surprised -- Thanks, Obaid. "Ron Martell" wrote: Obaid wrote: Thanks guys for your time.
