External HD slowing down PC?
Hi,
So im trying to recover my sister dead external HD.
I removed it from it case and plug it directly into my desktop.
The only thing is when I plug her HD in the machine, Windows will take 5+ to boot. First it will show my BIOS brand screen for like 30sec then starting windows for like 5minuties. Then it said a disk check was need ( I skipped it) When windows finally loads I try to click on drive and it will cause windows explorer to stop responding.
I have given up now and have returned to my normal HD and SSD and boot time is lighting fast.
Why is it when I plug the external in, my boot time is slow? I'm still using the SSD to boot into windows.
