hello and happy new year!
I have a compaq desk top with windows XP. I have used an external hard drive (western dig) for about 6 months via my USB port. Suddenly when I plug it in now, I do not get any errors or sounds and the computer just stays silent. Then it freezes up and I can not reboot or anything and must unplug the main plug from the wall. Now, I brought the HD to my work computer and plugged it in there and it works great. I also scanned it from there too and it is clean. All of my other usb devices work just fine. i have tried it in all of the other ports, front and back too with the same result. Please help!
