My problem is that my laptop(Toshiba satellite A15-S129) running windows xp home will only let me surf the web when my external hard drive (Acom data 120GB) is turned on. This wouldn't be a big deal if this was a desktop computer, but i need to be able to surf without the hard drive connected. I noticed the problem a short time after I installed SP2 but not
sure if it is the cause, most likely the external hard drive was connected when I installed SP2. I've tried a restore point to before i had SP2 installed it didn't help. I tried just removing SP2 that also didn't work, then tried reinstalling it with no luck.
This isn't the only problem whenever I try browsing some of my files in explorer it crashes or if I open Microsoft word it eventually crashes too.
What info do you need to help me out?
