Thanks for you help Lance

I'll check out why the external drive would interferer with the restart. It's a hand-me-down from a friend, and I've been thinking about getting a new one anyways.

welp i'm glad everything is back to normal! can't take credit for much since I didn't provide any good leads!

if you're looking at HD's please avoid the maxtor onetouch series. their software is just plain horrible!

I'll remember that.

Any opinions on HD's at Costco? I was thinking about a My Book but I haven't checked what they're carrying lately.

well i can tell you your first problem, you have an emachines and are thinking about "upgrading" to a Dell :-P

Hahaha, no kidding

My wife doesn't want to mess with a self built machine, but since it's working again, I have time to piece one together and get all the bugs out before she gets to use it. I'm really interested in the $500 one Mastacox linked to in my other thread.

I have a WesternDigital My Book and a external HD I built myself buy taking out the HD in my WesternDigital World Book after I could never get it to work properly (open the case, took the HD out and put it into one of the cases you can buy at BestBuy and such) They haven't failed me yet "knocks on wood" and the software that came with the My book was great imho, but i don't use it anyway I just back up my stuff manually

the Western Digital drives are good, and the Seagate drives are good... i dont have any experience with the Maxtor externals though...

also, HP makes a "Home Server" that my grandpa uses that works really well... it comes with i think a 250gig drive, and slots for 4 more...

I agree! My parents have a Maxtor onetouch, and it usually locks up the computer whenever it's turned on. We have to unplug the USB to get the PC to boot.

DO NOT get maxtor externals. i've had 2 die on me within 1 year spans.

i currently run a seagate 1.5tb attached to my pc and a WD my book attached to my mac, and both are flawless so far.
