akafazov Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Hello guys,I have the following situation: Windows XP SP2 is installed on my notebook and I have hooked up an external 80GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 HDD through USB2.0 to IDE adapter and an external USB hub. Everything worked fine until I decided to allocate some unused space on the external drive from the computer manager. So I started creating new logical partition and the OS crashed, got the blue screen and restarted. I was unable to start windows until I disconnected the external HDD. I also received some filesystem errors in C: which is still FAT32, but they were corrected and I was able to log in. After that, Windows crashes and the same thing happens each time I decide to plug the external HDD. The error says it has something to do with the driver. Does anybody has an idea on how to solve this problem?Regards,Angel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Can you tell us what the error message says? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akafazov Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Can you tell us what the error message says?I can't see, it restarts immediately. Something happened to the drive, as I plugged it in another pc and I got the same behaviour. It seems like the computer manager broke the filesystem and the driver cannot handle it.

Scarecrow Man Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 Can you plug this drive in internally? Meaning, inside the computer rather than with a USB enclosure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
