External HD Keeps freezing my system

[dantonkin]

I'm got a fair amount of music & other data on my Freecom External drive. It's plugged in via USB2 so should be more than capable of transfering to my main HD.

It'll manage to copy around 300mb data for example and then freeze. Nothing I can do apart from hit the reset button.

Has any one come across this problem with their external drive? If so could you please help me?

OK thanks guys. I've tried everything I can except on another system as i don't have one to try it on.

I'll have to keep plugging away 250 megs at a time. Letting it relax for a few mins then transfer some more data.

It's gonna take a while as theres another 100gig to go

Cheers any way
