Hi all,

I use a Maxtor 640 GB USB external disk drive to store my Poser backups. If I leave it connected to my PC when I reboot, the reboot process seems to grind to a halt.

I also have a separate 150 GB USB external disk drive that is permanently connected to my machine (even during the boot-up process), but in this case it does not seem to cause any problems.

Can someone advise how I can leave my Maxtor 640 GB drive connected, without it crippling my machine during boot-up ? 

Thanks and regards,
Andrew
