I just purchased this external drive and everything seems to be working fine. Whenever I try to boot my computer with My Book on my computer refuses to start Windows 7. If I unplug My Book it boots fine. Any help would be appreciated.
I have the same problem. However, I have had the MyBook Essential for about 6 months without a problem. Then yesterday my computer would not boot. After the opening Bios screen, before Windows starts to launch, it would turn to a black screen with just a blinking cursor. Then I unplugged the MyBook Essential and it booted. Then plugged it in again and it won’t boot. I suspect the drive updated its driver or software automatically or something, and created a problem that did not exist before. I’d love to hear if other are having this problem, and if there is a solution.
