Support NeoGAF

To add to this thread from a few days ago, http://www.ga-forum.com/showthread.php?t=53374, it seems as if yes, if my new Seagate drives are on, and plugged in via USB at boot, the system will stall.

Thank God it didn't fry the drive this time like it might've to the other drives, but I booted...

INTE...

... I turn off the power strip for those Seagate drives, and it continues booting.

What the hell would cause this?

there's a cheap, eccentric hermit detector in the drive case. it can't proceed while the detector has a positive read

Same problem here. Seagate 7200.7 80GB and Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe.

I only use the externals as storage/backup so no big deal for me.

it may be trying to boot off of them

it may be trying to boot off of them

Doesn't do that with my Western Digitals plugged in at boot, and besides which, why at the processor ID screen?

 

[fart]

that is odd. just keep them unplugged when you boot i guess. it's probably a bug in something embedded
