does your motherboard e-sata bracket also have a power connection there ? and is your external drive connected to a power source to run the drive ?

I am thinking two things

bios update ?

Sp-3 install ?

I would clone your current boot drive to a spare hard drive if you have one ? prior to sp-3 install

look at xxclone.com (free version)............can explain in greater depth if this approach sounds good to you ?
