BSOD when accessing floppy

If it's a particular floppy..through it away. If it's any floppy you may need to look at the cable or the floppy itself...maybe even the controller. The BSOD indicates that access was believed possible by the OS but actually wans't. Could be numerous hardware level problems possible here.

On the BSOD there will be a stop code followed by 4 parameters (all of these are in hex). Unfortunately, the only way to really find out what is going on is to start doing some research. Go to the MS KnowledgeBase and do a search on your stop code(typically you get the best results if you used the full hex number, i.e. 0xc0000005). Search through the results, see what applies to you.

Sorry, it's not pretty, but it's the only way to find out (nobody can look at your config above and decide what the problem is unless they have your exact setup and have experienced exactly the same problem).

good luck

Are you running Cheyenne InoclatIT ? as they have an updated driver to resolve BSOD with Floppy access.
