I have a 1 month old Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.2 and I am trying to back up my iPhoto library (about 52 GB file size) to an external HDD (Western Digital) and it always crashes my system and I am forced to restart.

The drive is a 2TB drive with 2 partitions. 500GB for Time Machine and 1.5 TB for general storage.

I have tried restarting the macbook, unplugging and replugging the drive in. I've repaired the general storage partition and none of that works.

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
