Apple Keyboard in Windows doesn’t like External HD

by drev19 . Updated 18 years, 5 months ago

I just bought a new Apple keyboard to use on my native Windows XP Pro machine at work. Note: this is not Windows in Boot Camp; it’s a Dell PC.

When I have the apple keyboard plugged in to the USB at the same time my external hard drive is connected, the HD will stop working, and Windows won’t recognize it. As soon as I unplug the apple keyboard, the hard drive will be recognized by Windows and will load up normally.

Each peripheral works fine when the other isn’t plugged in, but as soon as they’re both plugged in, they have a stand off.

Help please! =)
