Notes

The symptoms of a Stop error vary according to your computer's system failure options. For additional information about how to configure system failure options, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Not all Stop 0x0000001E errors are caused by the issue that is described in this article.

This issue may occur if there is a synchronization problem that permits a device object that is maintained by the Cluster Disk Driver (ClusDisk.sys) to be set to a NULL value and then reused on a separately running thread. This condition may occur if the Cluster Service issues a Disk Reserve operation at the same time that the Plug and Play Manager component is servicing a removal event.
