windows xp locking up on boot-up when WD My Passport external drive is connected
location:

January 11, 2013
My Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop runs a 2002 version of Windows Media Center Edition of XP. I have an external drive: a WD My Passport 0740 which connects by the USB port. When the external drive is connected and I boot-up, the machine hangs in the "Windows
is starting" phase. It needs a hard re-boot.
It will boot-up properly when the external drive is not connected.
Once Windows has booted up, the external hard drive can be connected. At that point everything works properly. The drive is identified as working properly (as it is). No troubleshooting is required.
This situation wasn't always the case. Not long ago, Windows booted up normally with the external drive connected.
That is the way matters stand with another Toshiba lap
