I have the same problem, namely the USB powered zip drive hangs my XP (Home
Version) on boot up (not shutdown). It takes about several minutes for the
boot process to continue, but it will continue instantly if I unplug the zip
drive. I'm still in contact with Iomega support looking for an resolution,
but nothing has been forthcoming.
Post by [ice]Post by BogeyInstalled, and when I reboot the PC, the system locks until I unplug the USB
cable. Something isn't right. Duh! Anyone else?
Assuming you're using Windows XP - It's possible that Windows is
trying to shutdown the Zip drive or put it into standby to save power
- check the device settings and ensure the option to do this is
unchecked.
