IomDisk driver - hangs system at Boot?

My WinXP SP2 system will not re-boot without a forced soft re-start during
restart. This occurs right after the win XP logo screen goes from black to
the blue logon screen. It re-boots once then goes form the win XP logo
screen right through to Ctr-Alt-Del screen. The system works fine after
that.

Upon system up, I get the windows recovered from a serious error. I send
data and get a reply of a "driver" caused blue screen of death. No other
data of what driver.

I removed & reloaded my ATI video drivers because that was the last driver
update I made. Still have the problem


**Possible fault isolation.**

For another issue, I was directed to launch in safe mode. I tried twice but
each time the system froze with windows\system32\drivers\IomDisk.sys as the
last entry on the screen.

I used to have a Jaz disk (SCSI) on the PC but is has long since been
removed.

Any thoughts as to why I go through this twice re-boot issue and cannot
launch in safe mode?

When the system comes up, I have not gotten a blue screen driver halt.

Thanks for any insights.
