BSOD on boot with NWA3k connected

Question

Has anyone tried booting up their pc with the NWA3000/1000/any other player still connected and received a Blue Screen of Death?

It happens to me if it's a cold boot or a reboot and I don't disconnect the player, just after the Windows scrolling bar screen a BSOD will pop up with something about a BAD HEADER. Turning off the PC, unplugging the player, and turning it back on will let me boot normally.

I mean I suppose it's not a fatal issue, but I wonder if anyone else has experienced it. Might be something Sony should think about patching in v2.02 or v3.01

Actually no, I am on XP and I haven't ever gotten the blue screen since ME or 98, so I am not sure why this is happening.

I don't recall if I ever left the player plugged in while doing a reboot, so can't help. But my pc has rebooted while I was transfering files which is highly annoying.

Never gotten a BSOD, but I did get freeze-ups during boot up when I had forgotten my Hi-MD player connected to the PC with a minidisc inside. If there was no minidisc, the PC started fine.

Probably just part of the computer's specs being able to boot from an external drive if needed, and it just can't recognize the files on the external USB device.
