I was setting up my rig earlier after reinstalling my os to a new hdd, i had some files backed up to an external hdd that was connected via usb. Upon rebooting during the graphics card driver install, i got as far as the hdd post info, just before the xp logo appears, then nothing but a blinking cursor in the top left corner on a black screen. After checking the card was seated ok and checking bios settings etc, i turned off the external hdd and it booted into windows as normal. Is this a common problem and could anyone shed some light on it.
