I have a laptop computer, from Toshiba, which uses XP (sp 3), and has a "generic" CD/DVD drive. The computer is nearly five years old, and I replaced the original CD/DVD drive, about two years ago, while the computer was still under warranty.
Here's what happens: upon ejecting either a CD-RW or a DVD-RW, I'll get a BSOD, and the error message, which gives me a lot of gibberish but not helpful info. It matters not whether I've just copied files onto the disc, or simply inserted the disc to retrieve files--the "BSOD" haunts the computer.
Reading and writing to a CD-R or DVD-R works fine--the drive accepts and reads or writes to the disc, and ejects without trouble.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try out this little bit of software first....
Ccleaner:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/download/76de99d16ed75990f33b69e760cd9031/
Download this and run it and see if it cures your problem. If you still get the BSOD after this then download a rootkit removal software:

Hopefully this should do the trick.
Make sure you have ALL of your updates as well as your BIOS update for your laptop or tower system.
Hope all goes ok for you.

BSOD= Blue Screen Of Death; usually occurs when windows stops all activity, and the screen freezes, followed by a blue screen with useless suggestions of what's happening, followed by a computer reload.

But what are the error codes that it shows?
This is the important thing here as it tells you what is going wrong with Windows.

Hi Col!
The blue screen flashes momentarily, then goes away, followed by a reloading of the computer. So there's not enough time to record any of the info.
I think there must be a log somewhere of this kind of stop error. Can you help me with this?
Thanks.
