I'm having the same problem in Vista Ultimate (x86). WD 500 external causes one of 2 problems. Either the PC takes 3 minutes to get to the login screen (unplugging the drive causes it to start in 15 seconds); or the PC fails to boot at all (hangs at the BIOS info screen). In all cases, unplugging the drive solves the issue. Interestingly, if you leave the drive off at start up, then plug it in once the PC is booted, I have access to the files immediately. I'm running Vista Ultimate (x86) on a Pentium Core 2 Quad-core with 4GB RAM. There is no reason I should be having any delay with this drive. Please tell me someone has found a fix... I'm just past 30 days on my friggin' return limit!
