Z60m BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD with MemStick Pro

[vmz60m]

Hello:

I get BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD everytime I insert a Sony CyberShot Memory Stick Pro in the Z60m built-in card reader. I have no problems reading SD cards (have not tried any MMC or MS). Have the latest Ricoh 4-in-1 drivers, etc. installed from Lenovo website.

Anyone else having similar problems or know of a solution?

Thanks.

VM.

I have the same problem with a t61 under xp pro and latest ricoh drivers: BSOD bad_pool_header with 512mb memory stick pro with magic gate made by sandisk

I believe it's most likely a Windows issue / or the memory sticks you guys are using.

I did a quick Google search on this last night. I did not find anything really helpful, however I did run across a report on the Dell forum of a user having the exact same error with the Memory Sticks. One of the leaders on another forum said that this error with BAD_POOL_HEADER BSOD is hard to pin down. The consensus seemed to be that this is generally caused by a hardware driver issue. No one seemed to know exactly what the error meant. But I stress again, that I only did a quick search. A more thorough reading of all the links may have yielded better information.

Same had_poo;_header BSOD here with T61p running Windows XP SP2. I believe it's a software/OS issue since it's a Ubuntu-Windows dual-boot machine and I only have problem under Windows. Also memtest86+ reports no errors.
