BSOD (0xd1) on removing HDs?

I have some NON system drives, hooked up to a Silicon Images 3112 controller.
When I remove 1 drive, the system does a BSOD, stop error 0xd1
(0xa,0x2,0x0,0xa) and DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL shortly after I get to
the desktop.

When I remove both drives, it hangs (locks up) on windows loading screen.

If I disable the 3112 controller in the device manager, and reboot, it locks
at windows loading screen again, so I have to boot into safe mode, re-enable
it, and all is OK.

A repair install will not fix this issue.

I know something is trying to access something on those drives, but nothing
is installed on them, and as I said, they are NOT system drives at all.
I can even remove the drive's drive letters, and as long as both drives are
plugged in, then all is fine.

This means to me that something is either hooking on to the Sil 3112 driver,
or something along those lines, and when it can't find whatever, it crashes
with the above error.

Anyone know a way to find out what is causing the issue? I already tried
different 3112 drivers, and it didn't make a difference.
 
Are they hot swappable drives ? They are still some system files on them even though they are not
the system drive (system restore,recycle bin, indexes).
 
No, they are not.
System restore, & indexing are off.

That still shouldn't make a difference. In same system, I can remove a IDE
drive, and it doesn't do what it does when I remove a drive off of the 3112
controller.

You cannot remove an IDE drive !!!

It is NOT an operating system error!


If you need removable drives use an external USB type

What are you talking about?
You can sure as heck remove IDE drives.
I *DIDN"T* mean to remove the drive while system was on. I mean power down
system, then remove drive.

Besides, I said it works fine if I remove IDE drives. It is only BSODing
when removing drives attached to the 3112 controller. (Remove the drive while
powered OFF)
