Are there known problems with any of the combination of the items I've put together? I have narrowed the problem with my brand new high end system down to a few factors. My Western Digital 1TB MyBook causes EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY slow Windows XP boot ups. If I disconnect the drive from the computer the system boots up about 700 times faster than with it connected. I have a brand new system as I mentioned that supports the eSATA connection which I am trying to use. Is Windows XP capable of dealing with a 1TB drive? Is it too much data for XP? Is XP too old for all this data? Is Windows XP really compatible with eSATA? I have seached the Internet and the WD website for information but I am not having any luck. Thank you for reading this. I would appreciate any insight to this issue.
