Problem with External Drive

Hi Guys
I have a problem with a external hard drive.

Model - Seagate - Barracuda 7900.9 - 200gb
External Enclosure - Nexstar NST-350U2
Format - NTFS
Software - None
Partitions - None
Virus Protection - Avast

BSOD is -

Stop 0x0000007E (0xFFFFFFFFc0000005, 0xFFFFFA600098607D, 0xFFFFFA6001BDB7E8, 0xFFFFFA6001BDB1c0)

Partmgr.sys - Address FFFFFA600098607D Base at FFFFFA6000985000, Datestamp 479198BA

This drive plugs in and works fine from XP on two different computers but it crashes my Vista machine every time. It also crashes in Safe-Mode.

Windows Vista Home Premium SP1

I have removed all data from the drive on the XP machine and formatted the drive replaced data and tried again without success.
Format was done in a CMD prompt.

I am not sure what else to try, posting here because it works fine in XP so assume its a Vista thing.

either attach the minidump file in your Vista Windows folder, or try this:http://www.vistax64.com/software/219790-reading-bsod-crash-files.html#post1007622

Hi,

Copy the files from external hard disk to xp machine, delete the partitions of the externel hard disk and make the 200 gb as raw.

To delete the partition, right click on my computer>manage, in the left pane click on disk management. There u can find all the partitions. If u want to delete a partition right click on the partition and click delete.

Delete all the partitions in the external hard disk and connect that in vista machine.

Let me know the result :)

Try running chkdsk /r on it. It could be the enclosure is not Vista ready. Can you install the hard drive inside your computer instead of the enclosure.

The DMP is 100mb Zipped, a little too big to upload.

Completed with no result, still crashed

Chkdsk /r was run (forgot to mention it) nothing found in the check and check finished
I'll hook it up to the Vista machine sans enclosure after trying delphin's advice.

May ur partition manager causing this problem.

connect the externel drive to vista machine, boot from the vista recovery cd which came with ur computer. select startup recovery. This will fix your partition manager problems.

Let me know the result :)

If the above not working try these commands in comman prompt in repair options(while booting from vista cd)

bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /RebuildBcd

Don't have a Vista recovery CD, I built this machine.
Wouldn't a problem with the partition manager affect the internal drives as well?

As for the second option, apart from this external hard-drive this Vista machine is running sweetly, what exactly will those commands do? The hard-drive is not worth risking this stable system.

Those commands will not affect stability of ur system. The mbr and bdc will specify, Which partition of ur hard drive contains windows.

Okay, Let me think more about ur problem

This is how I deleted it.

To delete the partition, right click on my computer>manage, in the left pane click on disk management. There u can find all the partitions. If u want to delete a partition right click on the partition and click delete.

Right now there are no partitions on the disk and no data, it is still crashing the Vista machine.
