I bought this USB hub (http://www.amazon.com/Kensington-DomeHub-ports-Weighted-33118/dp/B0002FHENE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1259683139&sr=8-1-spell), and connected it to my PC. I moved my mouse and external HDD (WD 1 TB MyBook) to the hub from the computer's USB ports.
I'm having a weird problem. My PC won't boot with the hub connected to the comptuer. If I disconnect the hub at the time of booting up, and then connect it after boot-up, everything works fine but with the hub plugged in, the system refuses to boot.
I've tried this with Win 7 64 bit, Win Vista 32 bit. The system won't even boot from with of the OS's setup discs with the hub plugged in.
Most of my system specs are in my signature. I did not have this problem before I had the USb hub (i.e. when the external HDD was connected directly to the system).
