Hey,

 

I have two questions.

 

I have a Rosewill external SATA to USB drive enclosure.  The cable USB cable
that came with it is about 3 feet long and has what looks like a choke on it
near the enclosure.  I have it connected to a powered USB hub on my desktop
because it will not reach my PC.  Can I safely replace the USB cable that
came with the unit with a standard 6-foot USB cable?  If not, what would I
look for in a description to have an equivalent, longer cable?

 

Also, why will my pc not boot when I have the external drive that is plugged
into the hub and powered on?  It hangs in the post phase where it enumerates
on the screen the drives and USB items it has found?  If I power the
external drive off first, it boots fine.

 

My system, in case it matters: P4-3GHz, 2GB RAM, Vista Business SP1.

 

Thanks,

Bobby
