Outline: -Acer TravelMate 734tvx -Lava Link drive enclosure -Ata 133 Maxtor 160 GB drive -cleaning didnt help -WINXPAlright, i bought this external drive for my computer and its a USB 2 device. The port on my laptop is the older version USB port so it wont run as fast, but since the drive enclosure is backwards compadiable it should function properly. I dont know what to do. I plug my drive in, it recognizes the drive, installs the drivers, and it functions. Problem comes in when i try to access data. I click on the drive, and 90% of the time it will lock my system. If not i can browse the drive for a little while, but its very unstable, constant little lockups you have to wait to re stabalize...... Thanks for your help in advance
