Stop 0x1e in NTFS After Changing Disk On Removable Drive

After you change then try to gain access to a different disk cartridge on a drive that supports removeable media, a STOP 0x1e error message may be displayed if the disk is formatted as NTFS.

This problem occurs because NTFS has code to detect if media has been switched without being properly dismounted. This code contained a bug that caused this blue screen error message to be displayed.

Caution should be taken when changing removable media. By design, NTFS issues a lock command to the drive to prevent removeable media from being ejected without being properly dismounted. Some removble drives do not support this function and some third-party utilities may not work correctly allowing the media to be removed without properly dismounting.
