External USB hard drive problem

I hope this is the right forum to post this:

Using XP home SP1
For some unknown reason my external USB hard disk suddenly starts to make
the computer reboot.
When I turn on the computer and the Ext drive is connected the computer goes
into a cycle of rebooting after loading windows.
If I start the computer with the External HD turned off no problem.
As soon as I turn on the hard disk the system reboots.
I have no idea why this suddenly started to happen.

If anyone can offer suggestions how to solve this I would appreciate it or
if more info is needed please ask.
Thanks in advance
