Answer 1

Hi Farmgirl

not seen that error myself, but did a search and it seems quite common

One forum suggested it could be to do with 'hibrnation' mode - you could disable hibernation in the power saving setup

Failing that - email our resident PC repairer

Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This  problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes .

The Kprobe problem is the result of the drive being run in AHCI mode with the Intel driver (iaStor.sys) controlling the SATA controller. Running Kprobe with this setup causes a Windows XP STOP 0X00008086 error. This Intel driver is part of Intel Application Accelerator. I don't know if it is the AHCI mode, or the Intel driver causing the problem (or both), but I strongly suspect the Intel driver--the driver seems to think the 716SA is a hard drive. To solve this problem, go into the BIOS setup, and switch the SATA mode from AHCI to ATA, and then *reinstall* Windows XP and all of your drivers and software. In ATA mode, the SATA controller uses standard Microsoft drivers--which is probably why the drive works perfectly and doesn't crash when Kprobe or pxscan is run (to be used on a Liteon drive, but while the Plextor drive is hooked up).

Or it is possible you have a problem in hard drive.
