Hi

I recently upgraded to Windows 7 from windows xp. I have a new problem now though, which is that whenever I reboot my computer (or start it from scratch), it seems as if both my external HDDs are disconnected and reconnected again. The autoplay always come up for both of them, and sometimes utorrent says "can't find the files" for torrents stored on those two HDDs. They are both connected through an USB hub, but that has never been a problem before.

So my question is: What do I do to make the harddrives not autoplay everytime I start the computer?

it should ask you what yuo want to do - unless you've already told it to autorun everything already

go to control panel and disable it in there. just type autorun into the search panel

Can you plug at least one of them directly into the PC to see if the hub is part of the issue?
