So here's the latest,


I performed a Clean Install of Vista x64 on my old 100GB drive. I got
BSODs after install and BSODs after inserting the SD Card, just like on
my new drive. I did not load any other programs other than Windows and
the Card Reader Drivers. So, at least I know my new HDD is not at
fault. Then I loaded Vista x32 from the Acer upgrade disk. I had no
BSOD problems during or after install and I restarted repeatedly to
stress test the install, still no problems. I then inserted the SD Card
and it worked flawlessly. I was able to perform quick and full formats
in all three file systems, FAT, FAT 32 & NTFS. I intentionally left the
SD Card inserted and restarted repeatedly. No further problems. It
certainly appears that Vista x64 is just a buggy, unstable "bowl of
sugar."

Thank You Microsoft!

Now all I have to do is do battle with their incompetent engineer. I'm
very close to asking MS to replace her. I have very little patience
left.
