    I had what sounds like the same problem but it was way before SP1 and it happened at complete random. I had to tell it that i want to install the drivers manually, and point it to the system32 folder, and it would install. Tedious? Yes. Did it get the job done? Yes.

    I have the same issue with my external drive. After installing sp1 for vista home premium I turned on my external drive now I get a memory dump error, and the computer reboots over and over until I shut off the drive. Prior to the sp1 install it always worked great. Also I have tried my external drive on other computers running with sp1 and guess what the same problem on them also. Could not find any drivers to support this drive because it is windows ready device. Hmm Microsoft we need some support here.
