CDFS_FILE_SYSTEM

[Guest]

For some reason I can't seem to open anything coming out of my cd-rom and the
dvd-rw rom. If I try to open the contents any disc contains other than
through "My Computer", then a blue screen appears freezing my Windows XP SP2
immediately. If I open a media player (iTune, WMP, or other), everything is
fine as long as I don't go near any cd rom icons or as long as the browsing
menu doesn't trigger an automatic refresh state of everything in site.
The error message goes something like this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent
damage to your computer.

CDFS_FILE_SYSTEM

Technical Information:
*** STOP: 0x00000026 [plus 4 more of these hexagonal coding in
parenthesis]
*** GEARAspiWDM.sys - Address F81B71D3 base at F81B6000, DateStamp
4147071e"
------------------------------------------------------------------
It's not a hardware issue, I know that much: I haven't installed any for the
longest time....the problem started appearing recently. I've fixed my PC a
couple of times, but this one has stopped me on dead on tracks...I would
really appreciated if someone knowledgeable knew how to deal with this to
help me out.

Thanks,
DigitalBIOS.

iTunes is the culprit (or, to be more precise GEAR CD burning software is,
as indicated by GEARAspiWDM.sys). Apple licences GEAR to use in iTunes. You

This is the original message I had sent in a separate thread called "Thanks
Anyways" after finding the problem myself... thanks any ways Miss Tick, you
were right by the way:

To all of you who were gonna try... thank you anyways. I found the cause
of my agony...let this serve as a lesson to anyone out there with the same
problem:
It seems that iTunes (yeah, iTunes, that nice graphics intense-looking
and memory grubbing jukebox from Apple) has a file it uses to manipulate the
cd roms or dvd roms {GEARAspiWDM.sys}. I erased them right off the bat from
the \\system32\drivers folder...restarted the pc and logged on... thank god
for the nero program...it detected "a problem" and told me it had fixed it by
adding the necessary files to the registry. Eventhough I can't import CDs
with iTunes, I can still listen to music files already on my pc.
I relieved.
