Windows can't handle NTFS on external hard disks?

It went through properly this time. Not really a scientific observation, but anecdotal. We'll see if the system stabilizes after a few more days pass. Crap, spoke too soon! Although that particular file transfer did go through properly this time, but the system did have another BSOD later in the day. This time it was a Stop 0xCD PAGE_FAULT_BEYOND_END_OF_ALLOCATION. According to this Microsoft KB about Windows Server 2003, but probably applicable to XP as well, it was due to a delayed write error. Error message when a Delayed Write Failure event is reported in Windows Server 2003: "Stop 0x00000019 - BAD_POOL_HEADER" or "Stop 0xCD PAGE_FAULT_BEYOND_END_OF_ALLOCATION" "This problem occurs because a certain driver returns an empty device name to the operating system when a Delayed Write Failure event is reported." http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925259 Now during this entire period, I've seen both the Stop 0x19 BAD_POOL_HEADER and now the Stop 0xCD messages at various times, as well as other Stop messages. Hmm. Not good. Sounds good to me. Let us know. I have had to take USB ports out of service in the past as well, but that was on an ASUS board where they had insufficient cooling on the southbridge, and it was not really a surprise to me that portst started giving up after about 2 years. No more ASUS for me, they are more expensive and their engineering sucks badly lately. I don't know who's more to blame here, Asus or Nvidia. I've had it upto here with both. Yes, me too. My last Asus board (replacement for the badly cooled one while it was in warranty replacement) died after 3 days form a badly designed northbride cooler with too weak springs. The replacement for that had thermal compound incompetently applied over a not removed used phase-change pad. I have now replaced their shoddy work completely with a 3rd party cooler and that does work better and leads to acceptable temperatures, but I think the time were Asus was a quality manufactuere are long over. Most of Asus' AMD motherboards used to use Nvidia chipsets. And most of the computer stores around here only sell Asus motherboards for some reason, whether Intel or AMD. Incidentially my Asus GeForce 8800 is now in warranty repair for the 3rd time, also shoddy cooling and on the last repair it cane back with a manually thorn off capacitor. What also is really bad is that Asus takes something like 4-8 weeks for a replacement. For Mainboards, I have moved to Gigabyte for the moment. Better cooled, because they use twice the copper plating thickness in the power and ground layers and it is noticeable. Still not perfect, but no worse than Asus and I can get amost 2 boards for the price of one Asus board, so I now have my own spare here. As to the damaged port, it would still support a mouse or the like, but filetransfers resulted in device disconnects under Linux, a bit like your situation. Incidentially, this problem also affected the SATA port with the same number, I guess they were arranged in SATA/USB pairs on the chip. Is there any utility which will monitor USB disconnects? I don't seem to see them in the Windows System logs. I really don't know. If Windows USB is not completely FuBar, then these should be in some log. Arno -- Arno Wagner, Dr. sc. techn., Dipl.

I'm hoping that the rearrangement of the USB's is really going to actually work out here, and that this was just a fluke, like a last goodbye punch to the face.

What also is really bad is that Asus takes something like 4-8 weeks for a replacement. It's for reasons like that that I insist on motherboards with integrated graphics these days. At least if your fancy discrete graphics card goes dead, you can still continue to work on the computer at some minimal level, even if you can't game. But as soon as say integrated graphics, they think low-end value-priced motherboards, and they don't make them with various features like SLI or Crossfire, etc. Is there any utility which will monitor USB disconnects? I don't seem to see them in the Windows System logs. I really don't know. If Windows USB is not completely FuBar, then these should be in some log. I have a simple USB-to-serial port converter cable that can bring my whole system to standstill, on this system. It's like as if all of the USB ports stop working sometimes when this cable is attached. Other times it's just fine. Yousuf Khan |
