External hard-drive shuts down my entire system! Help?!
Hi, I have a Western Digital external hard-drive, Model wd1600u017-005, and very strangely, when I plug it into my MBP 2011 model, the entire computer shuts down, I've looked into this and I have found no one else experiencing a similar issue. It's very strange, and its not a formatting issue as it used to work perfectly fine on my mac until one day every time i plugged it in the computer would just switch off.
Any help?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)
