Blue screen of death constantly - how do I fix this

I'm having a problem replying to responses to Vince's answers. I
read his message and click reply to group and the message comes back
and says you can't use html so I had to post another message.

He asked whether the computer boots up with the drive connected.
Here's my response but I have some additional info.

With the drive connected or disconnected the computer boots up fine.
And thanks for the info on SP3.

Now every time I try to scan using my Norton program -- the blue
screen appears and says the problem is --
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with the following:

STOP: 0X000000D1 (0XF79466E6, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0XF79466E6)

*** mxopswd.sys - ADDRESS F79466E6 base at F7941000, DATESTAMP
459efd59

When I follow the thread to what's being sent to Microsoft -- this
is what is sent:

C:DOCUME~1my name ~1LOCALS~1temp5a9a_appcompat.txt

I ran Dell Diagnostics CD110910 and the program, when completed,
said everything is running correctly -- no problems -- but the
computer works for a while, then crashes. Sometimes it runs for
hours unattended, then when I go back to use it -- the blue screen
is up with the same message. Or -- when I try to run Norton scan --
the scan starts and then the blue screen pops up with the message
shown above. Should I consider getting a new hard drive for my Dell
8250 or is there a fix? Thanks.
