I know this isn't the right board for my
question, but I thought I'd post it here in case it's related to
putting the old drives in and taking them out. I don't think it's
related, but who knows? Two days after I put my old drive in and got
my files off of it I started having startup problems with my Windows
Vista machine. It was loading VERY slowly. I went to the device
manager and noticed there was an item with an exclamation point beside
it. I tried updating the driver, but it said it was already using the
best one. It's called USB Mass Storage Device, but I'm not exactly
sure what it is. When it was enabled it added another 3 minutes or so
to my startup time, but after I disabled it it loads faster, but it's
still not starting like it should. I don't know what the item is, but
I don't notice anything on here that's not working after disabling it.
First it shows just a solid black screen with a white underscore in
the top left corner for a couple minutes or more and then goes to the
loading screen, then the windows logo and then it finally goes to the
login screen. Before it took a fraction of that time to restart. After
I log in though everything runs normal. Some help will be greatly
appreciated!
