Help... STOP 7B problem again

Hello,

I'm back to post again, because I realized I have gone one big round and
back to being clueless.

Issue here is, when booting up a system using HDD with XPE, and plug in a
USB thumb drive, Windows bluescreens with a 7B error (0xF894F528,0xC0000034,
0, 0 ). This happens sometimes on some machines and I can't catch the
triggering point. If it happened once on a disk, it will be consistently
happening until I reflash the entire image.

If I disable the USB thumb drive during bootup in the BIOS, Windows is able
to boot up fine.

Bootlog didn't seem to help, as it seems that there wasn't any log at all if
the BSOD happened.

Questions:
1) What is the effect on booting in Windows with the thumb drive disabled?
What clues can we gather from here?
2) Anyone has any idea on the interaction between BIOS or Windows during
boot up? The bluescreen happens when the windows logo appears.
3) I read somewhere about renumerating of disks etc, but I really don't
quite understand. Could this have an effect?

XP pro doesn't see this problem. So I am stumped again.
 
I've found that some BIOSs will try to boot from a USB drive if one is found
during the boot sequence. If you can disable this from within the BIOS it
solves the problem. If you can't, the only solution is to remove the drive
during boot. If you can't do that, you'll have to either get a BIOS that
works or try a new motherboard.
