    SBS 2003 crashing when removing the external usb hard drive

    I have a client when he uses the eject usb hard drive and removes the
    external usb hard drive, the SBS server crashes. I would like a resolution to
    be able to swap the external usb hard drives since he is using Backup Exec to
    save his backups to the external usb hard drive. The external usb hard drive
    has not been swapped out for at least 2 weeks because of the crashing of the
    SBS server.

    Did they just recently start using backup exec for backups? Or just recently start using USB drives?

    And "crash" can mean a lot of different things. If it's a hard, instant
    reset, then it's most likely a hardware issue. If it's a BSOD, then it could
    be a driver issue, or some other problem, and we'd want to know what the
    error code is, and what's in the event log.
