Think I have this problem as well. But its not just freezing when I am copying things. I kinda found out on a place that Western Digital and some other external harddrives gets into a so called sleeping mode. In XP, and Vista, the system tells them to wake up in good time, but Linux aint doing that. I heard that a update of kernel should maybe fix this problem. Linux kernel 2.6.24 . Anyone heard of it? This one should fix this bug, according to what i heard. Dont know if it works on Ubuntu though?
