SATA Crashing XP
Posted: Oct 28th, 2011, 1:28 pm
Ever since version 4.3.2 (now on 4.7) I have had a problem with SATA drives crashing Windows XP using pluggable SATA caddy for backup/movies etc.
If I have USB Safely Remove active, the drive spins up and does nothin else, task manager tells me USB Safely Remove is not responding and the screen only displays the background. Effectively locks up and I need to force a reboot.
With USB Safely Remove disabled the drive(s) spin up ok and everything is as it should be.
With USB Safely Remove uninstalled there is no problem with using the standard windows remover.
I just have to remember to disable USB Safely Remove first, but really shouldn't have to.
Settings problem, bug, or just not able to deal with SATA?
