My dad bought a maxtor hdd to put in an external hdd case and use as backup. Thing is as soon as he tries anything with the drive the computer crashes - but as soon as you pull out the drive the comp suddenly works again!
If he has it plugged in from the beginning the comp won't boot, but then same thing, if he unplugs, it continues as normal.
Any ideas what can be causing this? We've also tried it on my comp and it seems to work fine.
Cheers.
what kind of external case it is?
Have you tried the drive in a PC without the case?
have you checked that there are no shorts inside the caddie that can cause a problem to.
Seems the caddie is the problem, cheers for the advice
I had this problem which i thought was a usb problem as the lappy i was using was 1.1 and the external hdd case was 2.0 loads of problems with it but i`m unsure if that was the problem just a thought.
