BSOD on image create

[mozy]

If I have the check box "Ignore bad blocks" checked it get the BSOD.

If it's not checked just the error message.

What does the subchannel do?

Thanks

Do you have the chance to cross-check with another drive to see whether your
drive is the culprit - respectively your drive in combination with DT Pro.
AFAIR there were problems with recent ASUS drives before.

Maybe also of help to pinpoint the problem:
Try whether it behaves the same when creating image with Alcohol 52%.

I've done some more testing and here is what happens:

• No subChannel settings (ie none) and "ignore bad blocks" unchecked => Disk imaging failed error
  
• Any subChannel setting or "ignore bad blocks" checked => BSOD

I'm not overheating, cpu and gpu temperatures are all good.

Unfortunately I don't have another option for my DVD/CD drive. My system is one I built a couple of years ago. Looks like I have another reason to lobby for a new system.

IMHH, I think there is some issue that is hardware related. I simply can't afford to get another drive to test with right now.

I can't get my system to blue screen in any other scenario.

Thanks again for all of your help.
