I have a Smartdisk Firelite external USB2 drive and it works fine if I connect it while XP is running. The problem is if I start the PC with the drive attached. XP will load, display the desktop and while loading the start-up applications it will crash and reboot again and again. Smartdisk says the windows XP drivers work fine for the disk and has no suggestions.
I tried to reformat the external drive but the problem is still there. I tried using the drive on another computer and it works fine, so there must be a problem with XP somewhere.
Can anyone help?
