i have a P4V800-x Asus motherboard and i added an external hd with 1.5 terabytes, which is plugged thru a normal 2.0 USB, and has also normal electrical feed thru a source, plugged to wall outlet
when the computer is switched off and i boot it to begin normal operation, having this external hd plugged to the USB, the computer doesnt boot, it seems to be something related to the bios, since it stops at the motherboard page, not even beginning the windows
what's happening?, which is the problem?, could the external hd prevent the computer from booting because of its big capacity?
then i unplug the external hd, i boot the computer normally, and after being running normally, i plug the external hd and everything goes on without any trouble, it appears as a 2nd hd in 'C\', i save files transferring to the external hd, i copy files from the external hd into the computer, all as it normally is
cheers
