Symptoms

In Windows Server 2008-based or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based systems, if the system partition is a mirrored volume, and a system-critical issue occurs, the following behavior occurs:

  • A blue screen is not displayed.

  • A memory dump file is not generated.

Additionally, the following event is logged in the System log:

Cause

This problem occurs because the Crashdmp.sys driver checks whether the volume of the system partition is supported when it is loaded. However, the Crashdmp.sys driver performs an incorrect check when the system partition is a mirrored volume. Therefore, the Crashdmp.sys driver identifies the mirrored volume as an unsupported volume.
