Hi.

Yesterday I installed an external harddisk (brand: LaCie) from 250GB.

I moved 10GB of music from my disk D to it, and 5GB of pictures from my disk C to it.

After I moved those files, my computer has an extremely slow start up.

Everything goes normal until the moment comes where I should normally immediately get the ''account screen'' (blue screen with the accounts, windows XP ;)), but now it takes like 6 or more minutes!!
I get a black screen (no lights burning on my keyboard..) and I have to wait like 6 minutes...
Then I can click on my account and MSN starts up a bit slower than normal also...

What can I do??

I'm sorry btw if my english is a bit bad, I'm from the Netherlands :P
