Hi folks,first time poster,I have a maxtor 250gb usb drive that shows all data on the drive,can play mp3s and videos from it but when I try to transfer anything to or from my c drive the lights dim on the front of the usb drive and the data does not transfer. It has also caused some freezing when running programs from the c drive,when I turn the usb drive off the program loads right away. I also formatted recently and windows loading stuck at the windows setup screen until I unplugged the usb drive,then windows loading proceeded normally.Thanks,great forum!
Can't write to or from removable drive

Where are you plugging in the drive? If the lights are dimming it sounds like the drive isn't getting enough power. Is it a USB or self powered drive?
