can you see the hard drive in the Bios? If you disconnect the drive, does the computer still freeze?

we assume that you slave you HDD correctly since it made the desktop freeze from time to time.

when you plug in your extra HDD check if there's anything wrong in

control panel > administrative tools > computer management > disk management.

when you connect your extra samsung HDD, does it appears in there.
If it does, let's say it states disk 1 on the left column.
Does it has a red colour stop sign on it??
If it does right click on the stop sign and choose the options given.
Which I think is Basic or something I cannot remember...

Then next to it, the right box, right click and then click new partition. (I'm assuming that your extra HDD is new and there's nothing inside, you need to format it to get it working.)

That's about it...

Open my computer, it should work fine by now.

Cole.
