External Hardisk start up problem

so the screenshot is the exact place it freezes just to be sure here

yes, i'm sure that bios has only 1 hardisk set as a boot drive, and the picture is where its freezes....

Ok here is what I would do remove the hard drive from the case but leave the case plugged in and try a boot and see if it may be a problem with the SATA circuit in the case

can you post a screenshot with what you have hooked up now

have you tried another USB port also did you enable Bit Locker Drive Encryption on that drive that would be something that XP did not have but 7 does

In the bios, choose to not use/recognize legacy USB devices that should solve your problem

thx! this one work! but can you tell me what is legacy USB and what it would effect if this turn off? thx alot!!

this is for older USB 1.0 devices from long ago we now use USB 2.0 for everything it transfers data faster
