- hey
i have a maxtor firewire drive running fat32 and i connected it to my computer using the USB2 port. My computer loaded fine and it was trying to locate the FD and i opened up another window while it was doing that and it started to chug a little so i waited for a sec and then tried to close that window but the "program not responding error" came up after it froze for a little.
Then my computer screen went blank except for my background then it froze for a while. I then decided to restart the computer but when i restarted it didnt load windows it just stayed at the screen that told me what processor i have.
Idont know what is going on please help
cheers

So it's a firewire drive in a USB port? What is that all about?
Have you disconnected it to see if your computer is still functional?

its a firewire drive with the usb and firwire cables.
i took the drive off and the computer still doesnt work! I turn it on then it immediately goes to some random screen that tells me my processor and sh*t but it says down the bottom if i want to press DEL to enter setup or ESC to go to memory but i cant do anything cause now my keyboard doesnt work when that comes up
