Hey,
A neighbor's pc (Gateway 500SE) was showing SMART errors so I suggested that we replace the HD with a new one. It turns out they had a 40GB HD in it and I got a 500GB HD to replace it with, I ghosted the old drive and restored the image to the new drive. I then put the new drive in and booted up. I get a blue screen with a D1 error (DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. In looking around in the BIOS, I saw that the BIOS could only see 137GB max of the HD. SO I made 4 partitions and restored the image to the C: partition and rebooted. Still the same D1 stop error. So I then upgrade the BIOS (this machine is about 8 years old and I'm sure it had the BIOS that shipped with it) to the latest version. The BIOS can now see all 500GB on the HD. But I am still getting the D1 blue screeb. The full stop code line is 0x000000D1 (0x0ECD2F95, 0x00000002, 0x00000002, 0x83A5ED20) Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to fix it? Thanks, Bobby
