failing boots with new USB drive
It gets to the splash screen and stalls, so i reboot it. It will then take a while on the BIOS, then boot into windows. then it won't recognise the drive. i will have to unplug it from the power point, then plug it back in and then it will recognise it. any suggestions? |

Have you checked your boot priority in the BIOS to make sure removabel media is after your hard drives?
Does the USB have any kind of executable on it that may be trying to run at startup? |

just deleted all the manufacturer's software off the drive. The boot priority is also set straight to the internal, mechanical hard drive with the OS on it.

Did it work?
I assume not as you have not mentioned it here, so then... Does the drive get recognised by windows if you plug it in after windows has booted up? I have a USB drive that has some built in function to do with windows 7 where it boosts the RAM or something (never used it) and that automatically kicks in if I boot the PC with it plugged in. So I have to plug it in after windows has booted. What version of windows you running? Also have you tried looking on the manufacturers website for latest drivers for the drive? Maybe its windows fumbling with an incorrect drive etc |

when I boot Windows up without the drive, I have to unplug the power adapter itself from the wall. Simply just plugging the USB end does nothing. I'm pretty sure that there aren't any special drivers for the HDD, but I will have a look tomorrow. I will also try the ReadyBoost thingy and see if that's off.
-EDIT- still no change. Last edited by Perkomate : 08-25-2011 at 12:30 AM. |

Did you read the WD instructions, maybe there is something you need to do, due to it being usb3, you would think it should act similar to a usb2 drive, but obviously that's not the case.

I have run into this problem too, it seems to happen more with the big drives with the little external power supply. I have 1 that I have to unplug the USB to boot, on any computer I have.
I seem to have no problems with the the 2.5" type that just power off of the USB port. I have a few of those and none of them cause boot problems on any of the computers. I have gotten around the problem (well sort of, the boot problem part anyway) by formatting the drive fat32. filesize limitations though. |

The thing is, that i've got a 1TB Seagate USB desktop drive, and that has never EVER had any problems booting up.
-EDIT- just checked the ReadyBoost, and the drive can't actually be used for it. Got nothing more past this. Any suggestions? Last edited by Perkomate : 08-25-2011 at 11:32 PM. |

I have never had problems booting with usb storage drives connected, but they were usb2, haven't got usb3 capability yet, so can't comment, was going to upgrade, but bought a ride-on lawn mower instead.
