| | I just bought an external USB enclosure (with power supply) and put in an 80 gig SATA drive that I want to use on my laptop. I tried to format the drive and I get a BSOD when the format reboots the first time. The error message is listed below. I tried the same thing on my desktop (that is, I plugged the external drive into the desktop and tried to format it). I get the same error message. Then, I removed the external drive and added it directly to my desktop as the second HDD. Then I formatted it and all is well. I then removed it and put it in the enclosure and it would not even boot up in either machine. Could it be that the power supply in the enclosure is not strong enough to boot any computer? The error message ends with STOP: 0x0000007B, (0xF78A2524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000) |

I have found most older 'bios' can not boot from an external drive. I ghost my main drive (drive to drive) to a external and it will not boot either. But if I put the drive in as a primary or secondary drive it boots just fine.
