BSOD a few seconds after starting defragmentation

By merle1 | November 13th, 2008 | 1:21 pm

Hi,

The BSOD occured a few seconds after I tried to defrag an external USB HDD on my XP Pro SP2 system with the latest beta of eBooster 3, downloaded today (2008-11-13, 15h CEST).  I was using IOBits SMartDefrag 1.02, and the BSOD mentioned eboostr.sys as causing the error (or that the error occured in executing this module).  I’ll see tomorrow if there was a memory dump written…

    I have checked my PC, no trace of a Memory.dmp. Sorry ! I have now set the relevant advance failure option to dump the kernel.

    Can you post at least BSOD parameters (four hexadecimal digits)?

    In addition, can you please try the new 466 build and confirm if this issue still there?

    I am so sorry but I didn’t write them down and I have rebooted my PC since. On the oher hand, you might want to try to reproduce the problem on your side, by using SmartDefrag from IOBits on a NTFS external USB HDD.

    I will be able to try next week, or maybe earlier. I’ll let you know !
