Startup Extremely Slow When External Hard Drive Attached
hi guys,
i just bought an external HD drive and it's very good but ... When I attach my external hard drive start up becomes painfully slow , like at least 5 times slower !. I get past the BIOS load screen fine but once the computer gets to the Starting Windows screen it sits there for a good 30-60 seconds. Then when the screen goes black (as it's going from the "starting windows" screen with the little windows 7 icon to the login screen) it again sits for anywhere from 1-2minutes, if not longer.
i have an old external HD and I've been using it for 2 years and never had this problem !
another thing when i click on " safely remove the HD " before i reboot and without taking the usb off the computer just stats normally !
so whats the problem because this is annoying me
the new HD
the old one
