Any PC experts ?
The kids pc keeps doing a BSOD, KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE ERROR which I beleive could be hard drive related, it mentions ATAPORT.SYS as well.
So, I was thinking I might change the HD for a 1TB one (currently 500 gb), whats the best way to go about this ?
Its on XP, was hoping to just use Ghost or similar to move all the data over or is a clean install the best way ?
Any other thoughts what it may be ?

could be RAM or disk.
get memtest86 and burn it to CD & boot from it.
If disk, then you might as well do a complete reinstall from original media - as existing files could be corrupt.
Just backup your docs etc
also
Error Message with RAM Problems or Damaged Virtual Memory Manager
