Re: Stop 0x000000CA

Thanks guys for your time.

Here is the full message:

A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

Plug and Play detected an error most likely caused by a faulty driver.

Stop code: 0x000000CA (0x00000001, 0x85BBC88, 0x85AED508, 0x00000000)

We have tried connecting two USB hard disks on more than 10 XP systems and
the result is same blue screen (also tried fresh install). If the drives are
connected alone, no problem. But as soon as the second one is connected
alongside the other one, system crashes with the above blue screen.

Windows Vista is fine no problem, 2003 SP2 fine, no problem. Only XP SP2 has
this problem.

Thanks,
Obaid.

The KB Article refers to a problem that results in one variant of that
Bug Code. You need to post a full copy of the Error Report to tell
us which variant you are encountering. You may also find further
information in Event Viewer.

Disable automatic restart on system failure. This should help by
allowing time to write down the STOP code properly. Right click on
the My Computer icon on the Desktop and select Properties, Advanced,
Start-Up and Recovery, System Failure and uncheck box before
Automatically Restart.

Do not re-enable automatic restart on system failure until you have
resolved the problem. Check for variants of the Stop Error message.

An alternative is to keep pressing the F8 key during StartUp and select
option - Disable automatic restart on system failure.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

We have discovered a problem with Windows XP SP2. When connecting to
USB
hard disks with same partition sizes, Windows crashes with blue screen
Stop
0x000000CA.

The exact problem has been reported to Microsoft with Windows 2003
Server.
However, for Windows XP there is no mentioning of this issue.

Article ID : 898446
Last Review : March 27, 2007
Revision : 3.0

Please help. This is the exact issue as discussed in the above
article. We
need a fix for Windows XP.

Thank you all in advance.
