    You`ll need to post a little more info!

    Such as what OS, what Motherboard (if possible), What external HDD, etc.. The more info the easier it is for members to offer suggestions.

    It could be any number of things, defective usb port, disabled usb port, lack of power, it could be that your PC only has usb 1 & the HDD needs usb 2, etc..

    Post some more details & I`m sure someone will have a few suggestions.

    Mine works ok on my laptop and also on my pc.but when i connect it to the pc it appears to freeze because it takes bloody ages to find it,once found its ok.
    No idea why but how long did you leave it when it froze.
    I can leave it attacched to the laptop and boot but if i leave it on the pc it takes ages to boot.
