I have a Dell Precision T3400 on Windows Xp Pro Sp3 and whenever i connect an external Hard drive, it dies after a few seconds. However the drive works fine in other computers. How can I debug USB power issues?

Does the external hard drive die or does the computer die? Does the external hard drive get its power from the USB or does it get its power from a power brick? – James T May 31 '10 at 8:10
