What we need from you if the driver crashes

Before you start testing Callback File System, please enable the crash dump. If the driver crashes, please send us the crash dump.

Also we need the following information which appears on the Blue Screen of Death (example message follows):

STOP: 0x00000022 (0x00240076, 0xF7A07AA8, 0xF7A077A8, 0xF7800C82)

Enabling a Kernel-Mode Dump File (© 2005 Microsoft Corporation)

During a system crash, the Windows crash dump settings determine whether a dump file will be created, and if so, what size the dump file will be. The Windows Control Panel controls the kernel-mode crash dump settings. Only a system administrator can modify these settings. To change these settings, go to Control Panel and click on the System icon. Select the Advanced panel. In Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000, click on Startup and Recovery. In Windows XP and later versions of Windows, click on the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery section. You will see the Startup and Recovery Dialog Box.

Under Write Debugging Information, you can select which of the three sizes of dump files you wish to have as the default. Only one dump file can be created for any given crash. The default crash dump size is Small Memory Dump. See Varieties of Kernel-Mode Dump Files for a description of the three file types. After selecting the dump file size, you can accept or change the default dump file path and file name. You can also select or deselect any of the Write an event to the system log, Send an administrative alert, and Automatically reboot options. If you make any changes, the system will reboot after you click OK. The settings that you select will apply to any kernel-mode dump file created by a system crash, regardless of whether the system crash was accidental or whether it was caused by the debugger. See Forcing a System Crash for details on causing a deliberate crash. However, these settings do not affect dump files created by the .dump command. See Creating a Dump File Without a System Crash for details on using this command.
