I finally got a BSOD

[PNutts]

My own fault, but I thought I would share.

I was wiping an old hard drive using Acronis Disk Director on an internal
drive connected via a USB converter. The drive had some bad sectors causing
Acronis to run slow. I decided to stop and wipe other drives and cancelled
the Acronis wipe. It was slow to react so I used the "safely remove hardware"
to terminate the connection to the drive. Before that was complete I yanked
the USB cable and BAM! BSOD.

I did get a BSOD once during the beta but I believe it was a conflict with
ASUS bios (an assumption because after upgrading the bios I wasn't able to
recreate the BSOD).

Yes, even Vista doesn't run well on defective hardware
