    Disable boot from USB in the BIOS.
    It may be hanging because it is trying to boot from the hd connected by USB.

    Sorry, jblim1980 but it sounds like your enclosure electronics or the enclosed hard drive has a serious malfunction. This happens sometimes, even with 'big name' brands.

    If you post details of your enclosure, we may be able to find a likely cause and possibly a fix for it.

    Have you tried to connect your enclosure to a different PC?

    Good luck.

    Hmm, the case was supplied with a hard drive fitted, yes?

    Is there only one way to connect? Or is it a combo. USB2/eSATA/Firewire?

    If there is a second way to make a connection, please try to find a compatible computer to connect it to: the AC Ryan forum has posts from customers who can connect one way but not 2 ways ...

    You could send it back to your retailer (under warranty?) - BUT, they would only replace the external drive (possibly with a refurb), they will not recover your data :(

    (I would remove the drive from the external case and connect it direct to a PC) But first, please try other ways to connect, maybe someone else here will have more ideas too :)
