I have a laptop, it is about 5 years old, and any USB storage that I plug in will lock up the computer within a minute. I have tried USB hard-drives, and USB flash drives. On the hard-drive I have plugged in the extra power plug, so it is not power. I have both ubuntu and windows xp on this computer and the problem is only in windows. The computer completly locks up, cannot even move the mouse, and the drive's activity light stays on. It does not always happen instantly, sometimes I can read a few files before it freezes. All devices work fine in windows on other computers.
Summary: USB storage locks computer, not hardware, device, or power problem.
Thanks in advance!
