SATA drive causes blue screen of death
My boot/system drive is SCSI and my multimedia drive is SATA. Most but not
all the time when I start the system with the SATA setup in Auto mode, I get the blue screen of death immediately when my username and password are being checked. When I don't get the BSOD, personal settings load next, and the windows startup continues okay. My motherboard is GA-8KNXP Ultra. This is somewhat puzzling as I haven't found any workarounds. When I boot with an IDE drive with SATA setup in Auto mode, Windows startup goes normally witihout BSODs. Anybody know why BSODs might be occurring with the SCSI boot drive. The SCSI drive uses Windows 2000 and the IDE drive uses Windows XP. |

The SCSI drive uses Windows 2000 and the IDE drive uses Windows XP. Apparently it is a Windows2000 issue. If you have installed any sata utilities(like the SataRaid or Javasataraid utility) that load at startup this might be to blame. But i think its windows2000. Try to find drivers for your sata controller that work stable under windows2000. If you are sure the drivers work ok(like in another friend same motherboard pc with win2000) then try to remove pci cards, usb devices, e.t.c if you want to find the conflict..I know this is a painfull process,,maybe you want to get some other advices before you proceed to that . Similar situation happens to me but between WindowsMe and WinXP. WinXP works perfect, WindowsME doesnt even start but crashes with a bluescreen of Hardware Protection error. Only solution was to get into winME safemode, disable the sata controller via the control panel/system devices/scsi controllers/satalink controller (or sataraid controller). Now it boots but of course cant see the drive at all. |

After more experimenting with the problem, I'm led to the conclusion that is
is not SATA problem but something more like a Windows 2000 / SCSI problem. The BSOD has been occuring when SATA is disabled. Before just recently, it did seem like a SATA problem by the number of times it occurred when SATA was enabled and disabled. In more experimenting, I've been holding shift/control down when the Windows 2000 boot process goes into the username/password, which is apparently preventing BSOD crashes.

My fix for this problem was to change the adaptec boot options, so both
Single Image Master and peripheral to boot both were using the same single A channel. Previously one of the selections was B which apparently caused inconsistent boots.
