Laptops often give problems due lack of more than one USB controller chip.
You could remove unused USB device drivers with USB deview. a very handy tool.
And yes, the formerly used USB 3.0 WD My passport harddisks from PGmusic drives were 2 classes better than the newer stuff.
The seagate model they sent last December i wouldn't dare to buy for my own use.


Thanks Fiddler, yes first thing I tried and have it in the port at the back, I just put last years Western Digital drive back in and it has not dropped out once since.
I have this years seagate unplugged as I was worried it would crash and loose all the data before I could get out again to buy a Western Digital to copy it to.
