Windows crashes

[Edipo]

I all,

I have a problem on my Windows Vista that began afetr the purchase of an external Hard Disk Freecom.

A few days afetr the purchase I disconnected it while it was writing and, since that moment, every time I connect and disconnect it, the PC go to freeze mode for 5 minutes.

The same thing happen even if the hard disk is disconnected: every time I start windows it go to freeze a little after the password, and every time I connect and disconnect a usb device.

I have looked for the solution everywhere, updated windows, unistalled and installed the hard disk from the device manager but I solved the problem only when I restored a recent backup.

Yesterday the Hard disk was writing a backup while Vista was installing the updates; at the end of the proceure windows restarted automatically and the problem began again!!!

The Pc go to freeze when it starts, every time I connect or disconnect the hard disk, an usb earphone that has always worked switch on but there is no audio and I don't know how many others usb devices will have problems.

Has anyone an idea to solve this problem before I throw out of the window Vista or the the hard disk?

Thank you

Re-install Vista....idk.

Could be a driver issue with the usb, or the ext hdd

I have a Toshiba 320GB Ext. HDD. on my laptop, had no issues installing it, just plug and play.
