              Yeah I was going to say boot order

              Try setting the internal HD to first boot maybe.. shrug

                      Perhaps a jumper setting on one or all the drives should be checked. This ancient technology still has a way of screwing things up!

                              You might try pluging into a different USB port

                                  I'm guessing a jump setting as well.... if it's set to Master, it might be conflicting with the HD in your computer.
