I have a Sony Vaio ( VGN-NR160E ) with Vista. I was trying to download I-tunes and it blue screen crashed. The codes are 0X000000ED,0X846D57B8,0X0000185,0X00000000. Help?

Are you able to use your operating system now?? I think that since of the write-pattern optimization in IDE disk drives, the caching routines occasionally write data out of order to maintain drive write speeds at the greatest possible level depending on where data is located on the disk. This opens a timing window where the NTFS disk system could have significant tables damaged if a write is not finished. Microsoft has recommended in the past that caching on IDE drives be turned off on programs with somewhat critical data that is stored on the disk or for situations that permit the slight drop in overall speed. Programs with critical data may need to use SCSI drives, which have better control of data transactions.

It will not boot up NOS.
