I have XP/SP2 and the pc is less than 3 years old.I would like to use my 512
mb memory stick for backup and to keep it permanently plugged into a usb
port. But when I try to start the pc with the stick in, the boot-up freezes
until I remove the stick, then boot-up is resumed and continues as normal. If
the pc is already on, the stick being out, and if I insert it in a usb port,
then the screen freezes, normal service being resumed only when I remove the
stick.
It doesn't always happen; very occasionally there is no freezing, and the
stick works, along with the pc.But I don't seem to be doing anything
different on those occasions.
Does anyone have any idea what the cause of the problem could be?
Thanking you in advance,
