Removing SP1 would be pointless as sooner or later it will install any way and the same problem would occur - and if the OS came with SP1 integrated then you cant remove it.

What make and model is the External HDD ?

760400 2009-03-30 00:30:00 I got a MS tech from that linked site looking into it, will let you know the outcome
Make and Model no idea

Its a standard IDE (probably seagate knowing me) in a enclosure both purchased seperately

Remove the drive from the enclosure - attach it as a slave drive (after resetting drives jumper) to your PC - see if it boots up OK or if it blue screens as well.

Thats assuming your PC has a IDE ribbon or IDE connector and ribbon on the Board.

760402 2009-03-30 03:55:00 I'd second WT's recommendation. I once had a HDD that blue screened no matter what I connected it with. So seeing whether it is OK in another setting is well worthwhile. linw (53)
