Hello!
I bought a new 500GB hard disk for my desktop, to upgrade its storage which was originally just 160GB. The thing is, I have an external hard disk (again 500GB) which I keep connected always.
On connecting the new hard disk, the computer refuses to go past the 'Windows' logon screen, i.e. even before clicking on the user and logging in. I checked the BIOS, and the hard disk is reflected there. Also, there is no connection problem, of which I am sure.
But, the computer boots normally if I disconnect the external hard disk.
Am out of reasons why this would happen.
Motherboard: Intel 915
CPU: Intel Pentium 4
Operating System: Windows XP.
P.S.: I know the configuration is old.
Waiting for help...
Thanks.
