i just got a sata dvdrw drive today its sony/nec optiarc ad7170s i removed my old ide drive put this is it runs fine reading dvds etc i was going to do a format so i started it vista was very close of finishing the installation (after restarting were it test your pc) but then it bsods and i cant continue the installation i have to start over which i did 3 times bsod every time
things i tried
i cleared my bios cmos
connected drive to all other sata ports
tried another sata cable
flashed its firmware from 1.00 to 1.12
i reinstalled vista using my old ide drive and once it was set up now wenever i connect the sata drive when vistas shows it loading screen it bsods right after sometimes i get to log in but moments later it bsods again
bsods only happen with the drive rest of the pc runs fine
thanks for any help
