Hi!
I have a laptop that came with vista (HP Pavilion dv9045) to which I oftenly have connected an external drive (Seagate Freeagent 500Gb).
It seems to me that the Seagate is blocking the startup-process somehow. I'm not sure if this happens all the time (it does not happen on restarts of vista) but when I power up the laptop with the HD connected I get stuck at a black screen. If I remove the USB connector the screen with the vista logo and the green process bar immediatly pops up and vista continues loading as if nothing had happened
Any suggestions?
Thanks
