Pioneer DVD-105S on XP causing BSOD?

I am having trouble with my Pioneer DVD-105S drive on Windows XP. When copying a large amount of data from a CD-ROM (as in installing a large software application) XP will BSOD after a time. I dual boot to Win98; no problem there.

I am having trouble with my Pioneer DVD-105S drive on Windows XP. When copying a large amount of data from a CD-ROM (as in installing a large software application) XP will BSOD after a time. I dual boot to Win98; no problem there. So I have to copy the whole CD-ROM to the hard drive under Win98 then boot to XP to install the software. Or, I have to copy a small amount at a time. According to the HCL it has not been tested under XP, but since it meets logo requirements for all other Windows it seems that it should work. Anyone have any ideas?

It's not the Drive. (Well it could be a bad drive). I have that drive and have used it constantly for the past year in NT4/2K/XP. No bluescreens.

I think I have found a workaround; I set the IDE channel to PIO instead of DMA. Now it runs slower, but at least no bluescreens .
 
BTW It's an Athlon motherboard. I can't remember the model off the top of my head; I'll look it up when I get home.
