    Hi all,
    I have a question about the Passport drive and my Laptop, If try to boot the computer with the Passport drive plugged in to the USB port it will not start. It just freezes and even after I unplug the Passport drive it will not complete the boot, I have to hold down the power button until it shuts down, and remove the drive. Does anyone know if this is normal
    Thanks
    Paul
