Can anyone explain strange stop error I am reciving?

Whenever I try to increase the size of my pagefile I recive a 0xC24 stop error in dmio.sys. The only way I can increase the page file without generatng this error is in safe mode.

There are a couple of things that might be to blame:

1. One or other of my disks is on the way out I think, takes a while to spin up on boot, clicks etc (although the utlity program that came with it can find no data corruption.. yet).

2. I have upgraded my disks to dynamic volumes, but I hear the Logical Disk Service (and it's Administrative partner) need to be active when using this types of disk.

I don't use any 4 in 1 drivers though (just the default WinXP ones)

Disks:

Maxtor 5T030H3 (Primary Master, NTFS, Dynamic System volume)
Maxtor 52049H4 (Primary Slave, NTFS, compressed Dynamic Volume)
Contains pagefile.sys (perminant 300Mb)

System board: ABIT KT7E, Bios 3R
OS: Windows XP Pro SP1

did you try to move the swap to primary master?

Yes it makes no difference, whenever I start in normal mode and try and increase the pagefile size I get the stop error.

No matter though... I have it as I like now, and if I ever need to resize it I know the safe mode method works, but out of interest i would like to know what is causing the crash.

It's turns out that it was my virus checker that was causing the BSOD. Odd as AVG says its XP compatible... oh well at least thats more more mysterious crash cleared up.
