Connecting two external hard drives to one computer

[furtech]

Hello,

I had a Lacie 'D2' (200 gig) connected to a computer yestarday through USB2. I then added a second external hard drive, also through USB2, it was a Lacie 'Big Disk' (500 gig).

When I tried to setup the 'Big Disk' the 'D2' stopped working, and I haven't been able to get it back up since. Does anyone know if there is a problem connecting two external HDD to one computer? Or has anyone had the same problem?

Thanks,

Matthew Collins
