CausingACommotion Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have a Sony MD Walkman MZ-N420D, and everytime I try to transfer music with the latest version of SonicStage, I can only transfer one song. Scenario:01 Causing a Commotion Converted: 100% Transferred.02 Open Your Heart Converted: 100% Transferring...*Blam!* Blue screen of death. I've erased the whole disc and tried again, but nothing doing. Still just one track before crapping out (and I've tried it with other files, too.)I'm using Windows XP Pro 2002 with SP2 installed.Has this happened to anybody else?

Richard Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 What version of Sonic stage are you using? What is the message on the BSOD? * Moved to Software Discussion section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CausingACommotion Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 What version of Sonic stage are you using? What is the message on the BSOD? * Moved to Software Discussion sectionI was using the latest version of Sonic Stage from the Sony site. And the BSOD is displayed so quickly that I don't have time to read it. But I got a glimpse of "NOT_EQUAL" at the top of it. The computer restarts without any damage done to my laptop nor to the disc (as the first song I transferred with still play.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boojum Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have had flaky problems with computers when they are too hot. How hot is it? Have you installed any drivers recently that you did not have before? You will have to fill us in with much more info, like the whole error message!

Richard Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL message could be caused by a number of things. Faulty RAM - have you done any memory upgrades? Driver conflict - any unknown devices in Device Manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CausingACommotion Posted July 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL message could be caused by a number of things. Faulty RAM - have you done any memory upgrades? Driver conflict - any unknown devices in Device Manager?I haven't done any memory upgrades, and there aren't any unknown devices in the Device Manager. I only have one computer with SP2 on it, however I do have a Mac running Mac OS X Tiger. If there isn't any fix on my laptop running XP SP2, could I switch over to Mac?P.S. I found this in another thread that died before there was a solution to the problem:I know there are postings with similarities, but I have been searching through the forums for the last week to correct my issue. Both Sonic Stage and the MD Burner crash my computer during the transfer process. My computer then brings up the problem screen indicating "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL". Has anyone else had this specific problem? I just bought this Net MD, model number MZ-N420D. I run Windows XP (service pack 2) on a HP Pavilion (Intel Cel 2.7GHz 504 Mb Ram). I originally had the problem with the first version of SS that came with the MD, but then installed the lastest verion of SS as indicated in the General FAQ. Can you only transfer songs brought in through the Connect Music Store?? Any help? Thanks in advance.Same Net MD model, HP, XP SP2, however I have 0.99 GB of ram according to my My Computer properties.

CausingACommotion Posted July 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I don't have an RH1. If there's no way to run a NetMD on a Mac, then does anybody know how to fix this stupid error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfbp Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 The IRQL_ error sounds a lot like something to do with USB. The only thing in all of this that needs to know anything about IRQ levels is the device driver. However there's nothing very special about the USB driver for the device, I had mine talking to SonicRage quite early on, and the driver is pretty generic at the computer.I note that Sony specifically say that you cannot connect a MD player via a USB hub to the computer - could this be the problem?

Hungerdunger Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 But if Sony doesn't want it to be connected to a USB cable, why was it included? Sony are OK with you connecting via USB, but what the previous poster asked was whether your USB cable goes directly to a socket in the computer or whether it goes to a USB hub. If it's the latter, try connecting directly to the computer and see if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CausingACommotion Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 (edited) EDIT.Apparently, there's a huge issue with HP and Minidisc players. I was able to patch my copy of Windows XP Pro, update to Windows XP Pro SP2, and install on that computer as apposed to my laptop. It seems to be working just fine, now.The only issue is that when I tried to transfer eight tracks, a few didn't...

monty_rfd Posted July 17, 2007 Report Share Posted July 17, 2007 I have the same model and I have been going crazy trying to find out why the blue screen of death has been poping up. If anyone has any other suggestions that would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
