I rebuilt my XP machine from a HD crash and restored from a OneCare backup on my Maxtor One Touch 1TB drive. Went beautifully. However, now if the One Touch is connected to the PC and it's powered up when the PC boots (which is how it's designed to work I presume) the boot hangs in "Detecting USB-Mass storage device." If I power the One Touch up after the PC come up eveything is just fine. What can I do?

Turn off the ability to boot from USB devices in your BIOS.
Just my 2¢

Or change the boot order in the list of hard drives so that the external is 2nd behind the main internal boot drive.

BIOS update available?? Are you sure that there's no option for USB boot enable/disable?
If not, in the list of hard drives, you can't promote one over another?
