I had problems with this hard rive. I soon worked out that you cannot turn it on until your system has fully booted up, including IE. But it seems critical what order you turn things off in too, or else the system freezes. Can anyone help please?

 

Also my system tells me I do not have/need a USB high speed host controller, but I have the hard drive plugged directly into my laptop, rather than the USB multi port I also use. Can anyone advise please?
