Windows crash

I all,
I have a problem on my Windows Vista that began afetr the purchase of an external Hard Disk Freecom.
A few days afetr the purchase I disconnected it while it was writing and, since that moment, every time I connect and disconnect it, the PC go to freeze mode for 5 minutes.
The same thing happen even if the hard disk is disconnected: every time I start windows it go to freeze a little after the password, and every time I connect and disconnect a usb device.
I have looked for the solution everywhere, updated windows, unistalled and installed the hard disk from the device manager but I solved the problem only when I restored a recent backup.
Yesterday the Hard disk was writing a backup while Vista was installing the updates; at the end of the proceure windows restarted automatically and the problem began again!!!
The Pc go to freeze when it starts, every time I connect or disconnect the hard disk, an usb earphone that has always worked switch on but there is no audio and I don't know how many others usb devices will have problems.
Has anyone an idea to solve this problem before I throw out of the window Vista or the the hard disk?
Thank you

Your external HD is a POS, or at least it's drivers are, lose it.
Are you also working off that external HD, using it for more than a backup?
If so, that's a contributing problem too.

You should not allow Windows to update during the day or anytime it wants:
set that to a manual update of your choosing, or set it to automatically
happen at 3am. You control that aspect.
You should also not kill a USB drive in mid-operation if you can avoid it.
Your Windows session, XP or Vista or Win7, should never EVER do anything on
it's own, it should always be set to prompt you or to never do anything.
