I am trying to copy about 20gig of data from a FAT32 drive
to a NTFS drive. I am running XP and the FAT32 was from
an old 98SE configuration. At different times during the
copy, I get a blue screen stop error 0x0000001A Memory
Management and sometimes a IRQ_LESS_THAN_SOMETHING error.

My MB supports RAID althought I'm not using it and I have
a RAID device drivers loaded, could that be causing the
problem?

The PC is new except for the old FAT32 drive.

Any ideas?
 
It could be that your pagefile has bad spots that need
repair.

Try these steps:
1. Adjust the minimum pagefile size setting to about 64MB
(but leave the maximum alone).
2. At a CMD prompt, run chkdsk /r. It will ask to run next
time you reboot. Type "Y" to each message and reboot.
3. After the CHKDSK is done, reset your pagefile back. Let
Windows controll it, or manually set it to numbers higher
than the suggested (but not too far from suggested).

Then try your copying again.

Since the pagefile is locked, CHKDSK can't fix it, even
when running outside the Windows environment. So setting
the minimum size to something small will allow the
greatest amount of disk surface to get repaired.
