I have Acer Aspire x1700 desktop with Vista Home premium 64.
It has an eSata socket which has been enabled in the bios.
On connecting a WD Book Studio which has USB, Firewire and eSata connectors, the system goes into a time warp looking for the drive, which works using the other connectors. Sometimes the system hangs on/off regularly during this process.
If the drive is pre-plugged in then sometimes the system won't start.
Meanwhile the drive light is flashing constantly.
Any experience of this problem would assist me.
Thanks
