I have recently had a few crashes and the good old Microsoft Error Report(!!!) has stated they are due to a device driver error. I thought I'd cracked it after uninstalling and reinstalling my printer (HP Photosmart 7762) and thought no more of it. However, today I backed up some pictures onto my external HDD ( A Western Digital USB 2.0 drive) and during the copy of files my PC crashed and restarted. I tried again, this time the files copied over then I tried to 'safely remove the drive' and the same thing happened...it crashed and restarted.
I have been to Western Digital's support pages to see if there are any necessary updates, but nothing that I can see of any worth (which improve stability/performance/compatability etc.)
I have just bought a new digital camera (Casio Exilim EX-Z750) but have no reason to suspect this is at fault...or could it be. Obviously this device is plug and play and shows as a removable drive. Do I check for errors in a similar way as other drives?? Anyway, if someone far more computer literate than me can help that would be great. Cheers
