I've got quite a peculiar issue occurring with my brothers external HDD. He was having issues with computers recognizing it with the usb, so i took it out of my the enclosure and and plugged it into my my motherboard. For some reason, when it's plugged in, my computer won't boot. It gets to the xp boot screen and freezes. I at first thought it was an issue with my HDD because I just got a new one and did a fresh xp install. So i was about ready to reinstall when it booted up. Then after a few times of similar occurances, I realized that the only time it doesn't boot is when my brothers ext hdd is plugged in. So what could be causing this? His ext hdd is an internal hdd in an ext enclousure.
thanks in advance!
