I have had my HP Pavilion desktop running Windows 7 64-bit freeze upon startup for months. I blamed it on everything, starting from HP to the USB ports to an old mouse, and am now finally realizing the WD drive is the problem. Apparently it is just plain not compatible with Windows 7 64-bit. Which explains why it runs fine with every other computer at our house. But that one computer is completely disabled whenever the WD drive is on and connected to the network, even when the HP computer itself is not even accessing it. As soon as it’s started up and you click on anything, it freezes (or at least becomes so extremely slow it’s as good as frozen) and nothing will help but turning off the power button. See this thread re Windows 7 64-bit compatibility. http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/136547-Windows7-Pro-64-bit-and-Western-Digital-My-Book-Live-2-TB-NAS-DriveThere doesn’t seem to be a solution short of not using the WD drive anymore, but if there is, I’d love to hear it!
