Well, here is something I believe is going to come up quite a bit more often:
It started out when I was trying to copy the DVD movie, "Hitch." I was reading all the threads about the latest versions of DVD Decrypter, AnyDVD, and DVD Shrink, and managed to use decypter to get the copy protected files onto my hard drive. Only thing is, decrypter does not remove all the copy protection when it copied it to my hard drive, so no matter what I used next, I kept getting cylclic redundancy errors like several others have been reporting. Except in my situation, the files were now on my hard drive, not the DVD disc. Continuing to struggle with backing up this DVD, it seemed as if the problem file on the Hitch DVD was, "VTS_01_1.VOB." All the other files copied just fine.
Everytime I tried to use any copying program such as Nero or DVD Shrink to read the files on my hard drive I kept getting a BSoD. There is something in the file "VTS_01_1.VOB" such that when the file system starts reading the drive sectors, it goes into the cyclic redundancy error, and eventually gives the BSoD system stop error, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, and it was relating the error to my SCSIPORT.SYS system file. At this point the problem was not a major one because if I just re-booted, my system came up just fine, so it seemed to be a problem only when my NTFS file system was trying to read that file.
Well, I ended up finding a different way to make the back-up copy thanks to the another thread; i.e., I eliminated the unnecessary audio files using DVD Shrink.
So then I decided to delete the folder on my hard drive that contained the "Hitch" DVD files. This was a mistake. During the file deletion process, big trouble started when I got another BSoD! Only now, I can't re-boot, because XP keeps giving me the same stop error during boot-up!. It makes perfect sense: the Sony ARccOS? copy protection on the DVD that causes the cyclic redundancy error wasn't going to allow my NTFS to delete the file, since it couldn't be read or tracked across the storage sectors on my drive. This spelled big trouble for my system since my system crashed while trying to read that file. Each time I re-boot, my system tries to re-access that "recent" file and another BSoD occurs. Luckily, the DVD files were not on my main OS drive volume, so all I had to do was disconnect the drive that contained the "Hitch" DVD files and I am back up and running now. However, all my back-up files of important information are on the drive that contained the DVD files.
I am now using SpinRite to try and recover only a small number of sectors on the drive but, it is having a very hard time with it and is taking an incredibly long time for each sector (if I let it run 24/7, it appears it is going to take about 27 days to finish, and thats if I narrow the recovery analysis down to only the scrambled sectors).
I wonder if anyone else has struggled with this or something similar.
