Yellow means that SOME sectors on the track are good. Unless you get GREEN, there will be errors. The sector data is decoded if the sector header is found. If there is no header, there is no possibility of data being recovered because there is no way of knowing where it is. It is possible that the checksum for the data block is invalid and there is data there, which is could be why you would see something in the sector data area that looks funny. There is no log file generated.
I have never seen a crash with any version of the FTDI drivers before, and I have been using FTDI chips for the last 10 years in my products. So, that must be a Windows USB problem you are having with your setup.
