Same Problem

-   My External Wester Digital HDD (250GB) greatly increases Vista boot time. It adds roughly an additional 1-1.5 mins. to Vista's boot. -   Guest

vista is very slow.
the 250 does not have very high speeds either.
try connecting through a new port (usb?).
you can boot without the drive connected, and then connect it.
good luck

Its the motherboard problem. Just DISABLE in BIOS option in USB tab: SUPPORT USB LEGACCY - or similar to this. This helps on 90percent of motherboards.
