on how to restore.

If the device is stalling more than one device its condition is in 
doubt. Either that, or it is drawing power from the PC (too much for the 
system). That would affect hardware supplies and possibly stall the PC.
Is the machine coping with a lot of load already?
You say it is a notebook- can it be drawing power from an already 
limited supply? John, If  you  mean  that  I  am  using  the  wrong transformer 
 plug  that  is  a  possibility.  The  portable  hard  drive  may  hold  
download  software  that  I  do  not  need  now.   If  I find  another  
transformer  that  fits  the  portable  hard  drive  I  will  try  it  out.  
Until  then  I  can  store  the  unit  away.  -   Gerald
