Start your machine in Safe Mode...

After the manufacturer logo goes away and BEFORE you see the Windows logo, hit the [F8] key on your keyboard a few times. If successful, you will be presented with a text-based menu.

Select "Safe Mode" by using the arrow keys, to highlight that choice and hitting enter.

Text will roll by.

If you get back to the desktop (it will look strange), then reboot normally. You're going to be ok.

If you DO NOT get back to your desktop, you might have to restore your machine from the DVD/CD it came with.

For future reference, when plugging in an external drive, make sure it's plugged in and powered on BEFORE booting your machine.
