Re: My pc wount boot if i turn on my verbatim 1 tb before...
The way to stop this is to turn off usb boot support in the bios. Essentially its trying to boot from that hard drive, enter the bios and look for usb boot and disable it.

Please turn off the system and unplug only the power cable. Press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. Plug in the power cable and turn on the system. Let us know if the system is booting to windows.
Please let us know if you can hear fan noise from the tower.

If the pc doesn't have a BIOS password then:
1.- look at the error messages on the blue screen,
2.- the blue screen shows errors when a driver is bad or not the right one for the hardware or the OS is corrupted.
3.- try to boot using safe mode.
4.- after the logo and right after it shows the F2/F10/F12 key start tapping the F8 continuosly. If your here a beep stop tapping.
You are asking for trouble by placing programs that Windows uses on the other drive. You are better off using the 1 TB drive as a system drive. Sounds like your OS is corrupted.
Western Digital warranties the disk-drive to work for at least one year.
If it does not, then exercise the warranty to get a replacement, at minimal cost to you.
Try connecting it to a different PC, to see if your PC's "blue-screens" happen without it being attached.
we need to no what happens when you boot it up if its the blue screen you just need to reload or repair windows if it has funny line in the screen you need new ram
Vista doesn't generally like to be installed on a hard drive that big. Well, Windows, in general doesn't.
And, from the sounds of it, you didn't install Windows on your new primary 1.5TB drive, you just copied it from the 500GB drive, which won't work.
Here's what you should to, to solve this: 1) Swap out your 1.5TB drive with the 500GB drive again. 2) Swap out your secondard 1.5TB drive, with the new one. 3) Create a partition of 120GB or less on that drive 4) Install Windows on the new partition. 5) Put the other 1.5TB drive back in, as secondary.
Once that's done, you can swap out the new 1.5TB drive with your Windows partition on it, in place of the 500GB drive.
When you boot, Windows may ask you to select which operating system you want, just select Windows Vista, and you should be good to go.
I had a similar issue a few years ago, when I tried to install Windows on a 1TB drive, and couldn't get it to work. Once I partitioned a smaller space, it worked like magic.
