Portable Backup Drive and BSOD!

My old Dell 8250 was giving out so I thought I would purchase a portable backup drive to use for my pix and music until I could receive my new Dell XPS 435. I purchased a Clickfree portable backup which I just loved, easy as plugging it in and everything was automatic! The problem started when I tried to plug it into any of the usb ports on my new XPS. Vista64 would recognize it, load the drivers and then the BSOD would pop up with a "System Exception Error", with the following text:
Mini041409-04.dmp
sysdata.xml
Version.txt
I discovered that Clickfree has a download to update for Vista64, so I did that and installed it and still I get the BSOD. My Clickfree WILL work with my neighbor's new Dell with Vista 64. He also had a Clickfree, and when he tried his on my pc, I still got the BSOD. Clickfree tech support will not help me and Dell says that as long as the usb port is working, they can't help me either. What do I need to do to get this Clickfree to work on my pc? All of my pictures, music and docs are on this device!!What is causing this BSOD?

Hi SharDar and Welcome to Vista Forums.
When the BSOD occurs, could you please look at the bottom right hand side of the computer and let us know what's the BSOD error code. It should start with 0X...

Hi SharDar,
If I understand you correctly you get the BSOD only when you connect the Clickfree to your new system - Does the system restart as soon as there is a BSOD - if so go to Advance Boot Options by Pressing F8 While the system is rebooting - and select the option 'Disable automatic restart while system crash - and then find the Stop Error code and then google it or you can even run the Windows Debugger and that will tell you what is causing the BSOD ????
Ones we know that is causing the BSOD we can find ways to avoid it !!!

Just some useful suggestions

Everytime I try to upload the minidump file, it gives me a message that says I don't have permission to open this file and says to contact an administrator for permission. I am the only one on this computer and I set it up as me being the administrator. Why can't I do this? This pc is making me pull my hair out!

Ok, after much trial and error, I finally worked my way around Vista and got ownership of that .dmp file. Now I understand all the moaning and groaning about Vista! Live and learn. Hope this comes through.

Well, it uploaded the file finally but I don't know where it went to. It gave me the message that it was uploading it. I am not very knowledgeable in computers and Vista is giving me fits so if someone could just give me a hint at what to check out to get this portable hard drive to work, I would really appreciate it. If not, I am just gonna toss it! :mad: But I can't figure out what I am going to use for a backup. Whatever it is, it will have to be easy....lol.
