I just did a fresh install of MCE, and at first, the drive was working as it should. But earlier today, it failed the installation of my printer driver, and afterward would cause Windows to freeze regardless of which program disk that I tried to run on it. At first, it just froze and I had to do a hard shutdown, but the last several times that I tried it, it froze for a few seconds and then BSODed with 0xD1 stop error.
I rebooted into another OS and the drive works fine, so it seems that hardware is ruled out. I uninstalled the burner from the Device Manager and rebooted, but this changed nothing. Then I used the Recovery Console to run CHKDSK /R, but no joy. I thought about running a system restore, but I would have to go back to the original installation configuration and lose everything that I have done since. I'm considering doing a repair installation, but after thinking about it, I started thinking about the error. It was "IRQ not less or equal to", which I believe has to do with memory allocation. I checked a guide online, but none of the MS KBs had any relationship to the drive. Is there a way to check or reset the IRQs to solve the problem? I could sure use some advise.
