Problem:
The computer runs stably (and overclocked) without the external hard drive plugged in. If I plug it in while Windows Vista is already running, the hard drive turns on but Windows doesn't pick up on it and its as if its not plugged in. If I restart (with it plugged in), the bios will reset the overclocked settings, and the time between the vista "nogui boot" screen and the logo/logon screen gets in the 30-60 second range, and it seems like all the peripherals power down, and then power on again after waiting with a black screen. After all these problems, however, the hard drive will work fine.
Specs:
e6420 @ 2.8Ghz (350 fsb)
Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev 3.3 (updated BIOS to F12)
2 gb ram
2 250 gb hard drives in RAID1
External Hard Drives tested:
WD MyBook Essential, WD Passport
erm..help please?
