Using Win8.1 Enterprise I made a Windows To Go disk using the tool in the control panel.

The process seemed to go fine, I installed to an external USB 3 hard disk and there didn't seem to be any errors.

However when trying to boot the device on any of 3 different machines I get the same BSOD error.

: (
Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (0% complete)

If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error:
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (uaspstor.sys)


Looking online seemed to be very unhelpful as most seemed to be about Win7 and none about Win To Go.

So I tried again thinking that maybe it was a device problem. I installed on a Sandisk 32 gb USB 2 and am getting the exact same error on each machine I boot from.

On a side note, each of these three machines work fine if I use a Ubuntu live boot disk.
 
I did not use a certified drive for this, a look around the net shows people using non certified drives, hard disks, and external m.2 drives and still being able to use Windows to go.

I cant even get to the point where I am supposed to enter my key. After the W8 logo it BSOD's.
