    When I try to run a backup I get the blue screen of death with a stop code of: 0X000000D1, 0X00000000, 0X00000005, 0X00000001 That says there is a problem with ulsata.sys.

    I have a Promise TX150 installed that gives me 2 sata ports and one pata port. If I delete the ulsata.sys driver the backup works fine but as soon as I put it back in so I can use my other ports it crashes.

    Any ideas?

    Have you checked to see if there are updated drivers on the Promise web site?

    What version and build of True Image are you using? If it isn't TI 11 build 8101, that would be a smart thing to try assuming you are using TI 11.

    At least you were able to specifically identify the driver that causes the BSOD. Sometimes that is not easy to do. Now, the problem is finding a way to avoid it.

    Until you find a solution, try renaming the file instead of deleting it. That way you don't have to re-copy it from where you are keeping it.

    I have downloaded the latest Promise Driver from their site and installed and still the same problem. I am usingTrue Image ver 11 build 8, 101. I have tried to register but their website is not fully functional so I can't see it there are any updates.

    From what I've read, this is a long-standing problem for TI back to version 8 and including 9 and 10 and now 11.

    You can disable the Promise controller in Device Manager which is probably both easier and safer than messing with the driver file directly. That should allow you to make backups, but TI won't work with this card in Windows.

    Have you tried booting from the TI Rescue CD and seeing if you can make and validate images there? The Rescue CD is Linux based, so it may work while the Windows version of TI fails.

    It would appear that the only solution is to replace the card with a different brand/model that is compatible with TI in Windows.

    What I don't understand is that I was able to use my Promise card when I up graded my notebookby "Cloning" sata 80bg drive to a 250 gb drive and it was Vista Ultimate but when I tried to "Backup/Retore" my desktop PC the the promise card resides in I get the BSOD. Strange Noo_O?

    John,

    I just wanted to thank you for your post (copy below). I was not able to do a full back up using TI 8.937 and kept getting blue screen errors on two different PCs. I'm pretty sure I was able to do them before using TI 8.937. I'm guessing that a Microsoft Update somewhere along the way updated my Promise driver on both PCs making TI 8.937 fail.

    I disabled the Promise drivers in device manager per your suggestion and then my backups worked perfectly. (Promise IDE port built into my motherboards) Only problem is that I can't backup any hard drives on my Promise IDE ports using TI-8.937 but I can at least backup my system drive and other drives on the normal IDE ports.

    Almost threw in the towel and was going to buy a different vendor's backup program when I read your post. I probably will end up doing that since the Acronis product has problems with the Promise Controllers but I at least was able to do my backups for now. I hope you revisit this forum and see my thank you post.

    Keep up your good work,
    Skyhawk

    I'm having the same problem with ATIB Home 11.8101 and ULSATA.SYS, but only when trying to create rescue media, and only when there's no drive connected to the promise controller.


    It's a SATA150 TX4 with the latest Promise BIOS.
