crcdisk.sys hangs

[Invinceble]

My Windows Vista started freezing for hours and hours on crcdisk.sys. When I tried searching for the same on web I found that there are millions of Vista users facing this problem. I am new to Vista hence don’t know much about its troubleshooting. Can anyone here please tell me what is the problem and why is it stucking at this file? By the way what exactly is crcdisk.sys?

Thanks for your helps.

Go into your BIOS and switch SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility. I did this on a Toshiba and Windows started normally again. I am going to install the latest Service Pack (SP2, at the time of writing) and switch it back. I will re-post my final results then.

Well... SP2 is already installed. After two successful reboots into Windows the problem returned and I am back at square one. Changing SATA mode in the BIOS does nothing now. Neither setting works now. I did, however, get an error log from the Windows Startup Repair utility this time. Posted below in case it helps anyone.

It seems to definately point to a driver problem. Now I just have to find which one
