    So i inserted a PS1 game into my computer.
    It was a prototype game i wanted to rip and share.

    What happened was, when i inserted it, the game opened like normal. When i opened the disk though, i got a BSOD.
    I restarted and the PC said:
    "Windows 7 has been damaged and cannot start up."

    And so i entered recovery and recovered.
    This has never happened.

    Its an officially signed prototype, and can even play right on a PS1 without a mod chip.

    Any ideas why?

    try using linux to view the disk, maybe run a virus checker on it. It could have just been random as well.

    Dont click the disk, just let the program dump it. Probably a weird file table freaking windows out

    You've been lucky being able to recover, but that

    "Windows 7 has been damaged and cannot start up."

    People used to make a joke with just weird file name on CD in Win95 times. Just autorun.inf that opens explorer window and one empty file with weird name. Instant BSOD.
    And yeah, windows got the worst file system support, can't mount anything but NTFS, FATx or UDF.
