Blue Screen of Death! Need Help!

Help!
My daughter walked up to me this morning with my Laptop in her hands and it was on the blue screen of death.  It had something about a STOP and a problem with atapi.sys.  I re-booted it and it went into Windows.  I was relieved...for 5 minutes, then it went to the blue screen again!  I booted it into Safe Mode with Command Prompt and ran CHKDSK /f  It seems to hang on Stage 2 of 3 verifying indexes at 0%.  I really do not want to format this HD and start over.  Is there a program that I can download from another computer that will help fix this problem?  Change the Bios to start the CD first.  

The computer is running Windows XP Service Pack 3 on a Toshiba Satelite Laptop.  

Also since I started CHKDSK it keeps trying to run CHKDSK each time I re-boot the compuer and freezes at the same point...

Blue Screen Technical Information:

STOP: 0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0x0X86D27DAD, 0x86D27F14, 0x8060567E)



HELP!

yup...should be related to a CD-ROM driver...could be due to a driver update (sometimes due to Automatic Windows Updates)...those are the most common culprits...see if you can rollback your cd-rom driver, or try manually updating your driver
