Why does my computer freeze up when I access my second hard drive?

maybe you need more RAM

Moving a computer doesn't normally cause that kind of problem, unless you dropped it or something.\n\nIf the hard drive is working, but is "wiped clean" (totally erased, operating system and all), or even partially erased, the most likely explanation is that someone (accidentally or on purpose) erased it.\n\nIf you describe exactly what happens when you turn the computer on, I might be able to help you diagnose the problem better.

You need to defrag the hard drive and do a disk clean up.\n\nGo to> Start, Click on Programs, go to> Accessorys, Click on tools link, go to Defrag. run a check on the C:Drive.\nAfter that do a disk clean up same place.

You probably have programs running in the background that are preventing it from working properly. For Windows, restart into Safe Mode and try running Disk Defragmenter there.

The speed of your PC may be too slow or you need to defrag the hard drive and use the Disk Clean up program in your PC.

First step would be to defragment the troublesome partition.  If the problem still persists try a 'Restore' point where the computer was behaving itself.

The hard drive is not initializing. Keep trying to reboot, it should wake up and start working. When it does, make a back-up of your files asap, it will probably die on you soon although I've had them keep working like that for years.\n\nGood Luck\n\nMike\n\n===========================

and the problem you are having is?????????...more info is needed\nactually the fact that its a Seagate HDD is probably part of the problem;)\nwe only use Western Digital HDD's

Sounds like the problem is in the thumb drive.\n\nAre both the PC's running the same file system (FAT32 vs NTFS)?\n\n///

You are probably using IDE...Piece of cake!\n\nPurchase a new HD (if not already), shut off the computer and unplug power. Remove static electricity and open up the case. Pull out the existing hard drive and set it to either Master of Cable Select (your computer should support CS). Now set the new HD to Slave or Cable Select if the Master drive is on CS, and hook it up to the open IDE plug on the same cable that is attached to your primary HD. Install the drive and plug in the power connector. NOTE: if you buy a hard drive larger than 137 gigs you will need to run specific software to enable large disk support...but 80 gigs is easy.\nNow turn your computer on and format the drive either in Disk Management or through My Computer!! Piece of cake!

nope. The hard disk drive stops running when it hibernates, so you cant download anything into it

yes you can. First click on my computer then access both hard drive's... make files up on the other hard drive so that you know what the files are. Then it is as easy and clicking on the information you want to move while holding down your mouse and transfering into the next hard drive.

It sounds like there is a lose connection between the hard drive and the motherboard.  Check your ribbon cable.  If that is not it maybe do a chkdsk/f to check for any errors the drive may have.

1) if it's a power supply issue, replace the power supply in the host machine.\n\n2)You can pull the drive and install it as a secondary internal drive in another machine.\n\n3)Buy an external usb or firewire enclosure, install your hard drive in it. And now you have the ability to connect that hard drive to any computer with a usb or firewire connection.

Reformat and reload you hard drive.\n\nCoach

I'm afraid you are going to have to pony up the bucks and have it looked at.  Most programs do NOT clean up a freezing problem.  You could have a virus, a bad motherboard, or an old system that has just given up.  Some places can take care of it for less than $100.\n\nGood luck.

Try reininstalling the drivers and if this doesnt help it means that ur  usb drives have poped out.it happens if water or any conducting liquid gets inside the drives and makes a double contact,try not to use this drives again since it can ruin ur harddisk.
