blue screen on atapi.sys

[DC Gringo]

Second day in a row I got a blue screen with Kernel_data_image error.

STOP: 0X0000007A (0XC03E1298,0XC000000E,0XF84A6BB4,0X04B4D860)

ATAPI.SYS - Address F84A6BB4 base at f8497000, datastamp ed6ddb04

Any ideas?

Are you using Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools? I can see you haven't
installed Service Pack 2. You may want to try that as it overwrites the
old ATAPI.SYS file with a new one.

You will need to uninstall Daemon Tools and/or disable Alcohol 120%
before upgrading to Service Pack 2. You should be able to install this
from Windows Update

There are quite a few changes that have been made, so you may be back
asking more questions, but it is all around a better product after
installing it.
