Windows CD contains SP2. Also tried on brand new XP PCs out of the box.

The following items are not signed:

sdi.sys, rthincxp.sys, iamlmnt4.sys, alcxwdm.sys and of course HP printer
drivers :)

There are no unknown devices and neither yellow question marks in Device
Manager. This issue only occurs if two USB hard disks of same size is
connected to the system. The crash is immediate, no wait time.

I hope the above information proves helpful.

Thanks,
Obaid.

You are going to have to try to identify the problematic driver.

Are there any yellow question marks in Device Manager? Right click
on the My Computer icon on your Desktop and select Properties,
Hardware,Device Manager. If yes what is the Device Error code?

Try Start, Run, type "sigverif.exe" without quotes and hit OK. What
drivers are listed as unsigned? Disregard those which are not
checked.

Do you have a Windows XP CD? Does it include the SP2 update or did
you download later?

Are there any corresponding error reports in Event Viewer?

Please post copies of all Error and Warning Reports appearing in the
System log in Event Viewer for when the problem
occurs. No Information Reports please.

You can access Event Viewer by selecting Start, Control Panel,
Administrative Tools, and Event Viewer. When researching the meaning
of the error, information regarding Event ID, Source and Description

A tip for posting copies of Error Reports! Run Event Viewer and double
click on the error you want to copy. In the window, which appears is a
button resembling two pages. Click the button and close Event
Viewer.Now start your message (email) and do a paste into the body of
the message. Make sure this is the first paste after exiting from

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.

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.

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.

Hi,
This could be for many reasons * Power supply= not enough power to the to
Power the USB Ex HDD,.
* IRQ conflict.

Try to Set the Internet HDD to Master ( if they are not already been set)
then the External HDDs to slave or cable select.
Rename the atapi.sys to atapi.old and Reboot while the two USB HDD are
connected.
