Re: BSOD - tfsnifs.sys

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

I get it sometimes but my DVD drives aren't from TEAC. I think tfsnifs.sys is from Sonic and it's almost obviously a Sonic problem. But if any guest machines are active under Virtual PC then the chances of a BSOD go up enormously, so it might be partly a Microsoft problem as well.

I just got the same exact bsod and found this forum when I googled
tfsnifs.sys and guess what I have a Dell 8400 with the exact same: TEAC
DVD+RW DV-W58E (DVD/CD)
RADEON X300 Series (Graphics) exect I am running Norton Internet
Securtiy 2005, obviously it is a Dell problem, it is always so much fun
calling them for help and spending 3 hours on hold.

*Hi!

I get BSOD when I put a DVD (MSDN VS.NET installation disc) into my
DVD+RW
drive. The message in the BSOD is

STOP 0x0000007E ...
tfsnifs.sys ...

I have a new Dell 8400 Dimension
TEAC DVD+RW DV-W58E (DVD/CD)
RADEON X300 Series (Graphics)
NAV 2004

When I put the DVD in the drive the system first freezes for a minute
or
two, then I get BSOD.

What is tfsnifs.sys used for(All I understand is that it is used with
the
DVD)? Who is actually responsible for it? Where can I get an update?

I got a suggestion to disable write functionality for the drive, but
I can't
seem to find how to do that, any suggestions?

Thanks!
