We've got all of our Dell Latitude E6400's BSOD'ing on this driver from the 9.01 MassStorage driver pack, referencing the IASTOR.SYS in the minidumps...

Unable to load image iaStor.sys, Win32 error 0n2
*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for iaStor.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for iaStor.sys

We installed this driver manually and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Will an update be integrated into the MassStorage driverpack, or do I need to find a way to integreate this driver into an OEM that won't conflict with the 9.01 MassStorage pack?

Thanks guys...

P.S. - I'm using these in a sysprep process, not an automated build.

Please verify it is not a conflict with antivirus or firewall software
One of the Google hits indicated possible conflict with a Logitech mouse and some USB keyboards. (Docking station?)
IE try and eliminate possible irritations to the Mass storage driver.
Hint: check device manager for the IRQ List "view Devices by Connection"
Who is Sharing the Interrupt with the Mass Controller?
is the machine in APIC mode?

since it seems to be an interrupt conflict the thing that is stomping on the Mass Storage's IRQ is probably as much to blame
as the mass driver.

- its a conflict in the interaction of TWO (or more) hardware devices that are not sharing the same IRQ nicely

  - That is why there are so few posts on this,
     It is The Unique combo of hardware and settings...
     Your specific model of PC, and your specific combo of drivers & other installed software.
     and possibly some bad luck when the machine enumerated the IRQs.
      - it may be that forcing the machine to re-enumerate may eliminate the problem too.
     
Updating the other device(s) that share(s) the IRQ with your Mass Storage driver may also fix your issue
try the actual chipset OEMs Intel Nvidia blah blaa blah... we may be out of date

If you post the fix here and it is driver related (probably a driver... but perhaps not Iastor)
we may be able to implement it in a future DriverPacks release
(you would of course get full credit )

PS (tech / training time is billable )
your homework is to report back LOL

To mr_smartepants: I don't think so. I tried 3 times + another 2 right now. You say that I misspelled "iastor.sys" 5 times...?
I'm using Opera browser but I tried also with Mozilla Firefox - same result.

I searched this forum for "iastor.sys" and it says "Your search returned no hits."...

That's impossible.  I did the exact same search here and got 2 pages of returns.  You might have misspelled "iastor.sys".

Second it may be that the reference driver will not work on that particuar laptop, try the one from the OEM (Acer).

It could also be something besides the iastor driver... something that is crashing that driver...

Apparently lots of dell owners are having that issue too... first time it has been reported here...

I searched this forum for "iastor.sys" and it says "Your search returned no hits."...

A friend of mine bought 2 Acer Aspire 5735z laptops.
I have set SATA in Bios on AHCI.
I installed XP SP3 with DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_901.7z integrated.

But sometimes when is working on them my friend gets this message:

I don't think it's a problem with Sata controller but with the driver.

What can I do...?
Thank you for any help.
