I recently started getting a BSoD when booting into windows via Boot Camp (27" iMac.) It usually occurs right at start-up although sometimes I could get a few minutes of use out of Windows until it crashed. Using the same partition in Fusion worked fine however.

I started troubleshooting and soon realized that the system was only crashing when my 1TB WD hard drive was plugged into the USB port. Is there any reason for this? This just started happening recently. Currently, I am just unplugging the drive before booting into Windows and everything is working fine, but I would like to be able to fix this so that I can leave the drive plugged in permanently.
