    Ok so a while ago I put in a new 120gb disk to sit all my media on. Now it was ok for a while and then I started to get BSOD and it would give me an error (which I will post when I find it) and dump the memory.

    It has done it a number of times and says something about the NTFS disk (the 120gb one) I have one FAT32 disk which is my master and one NTFS which is the slave which hosts all my media.

    Does anyone have any ideas about it. Why it would do this and what I can do. As I say I will post more later but does anyone have any disk diognostic programs?

    /EDIT - this is what I found from the process viewer in XP.

    If they're SMART compatible you can check them with MBM, speedfan etc. Not sure how accurate they are though.

    Check the event viewer for error messages too. BSOD's are often caused by bad device drivers.
