Verifier causes immediate crash on bootup



I've been getting 0xc4 errors (driver error) and following advice in the
newsgroups, ran Verifier. At first I ran it against legacy drivers (pre - XP
Home) and all seemed to work. When I switched to ALL drivers on system, the
system crashes partway through boot. I have dozens of minidumps but am not
sure where to look for the driver at fault...or if it's even listed in the
dump. Any suggestions?

I suppose it would be too much to ask for XP to identify the driver in it's
BSOD love notes.

System: Toshiba Sat 1735 notebook.
192MB, 9gig, Norton Security, SP1

A possibly non-related issue: Extremely slow boot (5-10 minutes) w/ lots of
disk activity, extremely long app startups again with disk activity, and
unexplained disk activity when seemingly nothing else is running.
