    hey guys.. this happened this first day i got my 6000 and happens every now and then:
    I have bellsouth fastaccess dsl and i use a westell modem to connect to the internet. Every once in a while when the usb is pluged in to the laptop all of a sudden a blue screen appears saying something like a hardrive wasn't properly installed and all this other stuff and i am forced to unplug my connection from the usb and manually turn off the computer. Does anybody have any idea what is going on and how do i fix it so that i dont encounter this problem again?
