Hello,
I have recently reinstalled my Windows 8.1 after HDD upgrade.
Now I am receiving BSOD when connecting external HDD.
sfc /scannow results are clean.
Windows is fully up to date.
update: Driver verifier has been runing for all drivers and so far no crashes. Turned on Dump as Kernel Dump.
Will try to connect HDD.
update 2:with Driver verifier ON for ALL drivers, there is NO crash when I connect external HDD :shock:... Tried all USB ports and waited till drive recognized and opened.
update 3: regarding the HDD: it is old internal HDD re-purposed into external with USB enclosure
I was suspecting drive failure due to some read error. (17 as per SMART)
but:
1. Fully passes extended SMART test
2. Passes 1 pass read-write (destructive) badblocks check with no error (under linux)
3. Passes "chkdsk /f /r" with no errors under Windows installer
4. SMART has no pending/relocated sectors (I am under impression that it used to have)
5. drive has been zeroed out by "dd zero" under linux.
First time I got BSOD it was after zero out, I guessed it was because it had no partition table etc. So I created ms-dos partition table and formatted it to NTFS under linux. Then I got this BSOD..
Now I have formatted it again into NTFS under Windows.
