Since I work with many, strange, odd, thrown together systems (see my tiny kidbots.com ), I regularly run into BSoD. In high end systems, it usually happens when installing some version of Windows in the first place, since typically, the OS would be on a partition on drive F: or whatever, and this causes problems.
However, the BSoD does pop up now and then, but less than in the past. I regularly re- install the entire OS, usually on a complete, separate harddrive from data, so that if it crashes, the data is separate, and intact, and accessible, usually with Knoppix, Ubuntu, MINT, or some free Linux CD/DVD that instantly loads, identifies everything, goes online, and reads and can BURN all the data onto a CD/DVD backup... The only problem with this method is that some of the newest, greatest, fastest, loaded computers often have "New and Improved" Video or DVD DRIVERS that Linux cannot identify -yet- ,so the Linux tools have to be constantly checked for new versions. The ability to analyze the BSoD would be MOST handy when you DO NOT want to reload the entire system, which I normally do, or when you are in a situation where you do not have the resources or TIME to fully investigate, - you just want to patch it and move on...
I very much enjoy Detwiler's DOJO videos, and often download the suggested programs and files etc, and check out the links. Keep up the great work! Since I have been working on electronics and computers since the 70's, I get a LOT of technical information arriving to my computer, and Bill's Videos are something I always take the time to look at! Thanks again...
