Cannot startup XP if connected to the 1T Buffalo HD

By dyhsng on Jul 13, 2009

" "

Got the 1T Buffalo DriveStation HD last week. After plugging it to my XP and installing the software, the computer hangs (may be hanged in the BIOS boot) after reboot and does not go any further. The only thing I can do is to unplug the drive and boot the computer again, then it will start up normally.
Are there anything steps I missed out? Or is there something wrong with my HD? Can anyone help?

- Thanks for the information, kamal1984. I tried to reset the boot option but it still didn't work. My boot option shows three options, two sets of serial codes and a 'Disabled' for the third option. I changed the boot priority of the options and it still could not be started up when connected to the HD. Any other suggestions?

set first device as your harddisk is bios.
When you power up the computer press F2 or "del" key to enter in bios.then go to boot option then set first boot as hdd.
