Vmware 8 - vm freezes when attaching a usb drive


I just upgraded from vs 6 to vs 8 and have an issue.  Under ver 6, I had a 2tb physical drive connected to the host machine that I let the vm take control of.  I use it to backup 90 gig of data on a nightly basis through ntbackup within the vm (windows 2k server, yea I know it's old). It's not until the upgrade to ver 8 that everything freezes in the vm when attaching the drive.  As soon as I detach the drive, the vm responds normally.  How can I attach the device properly so I can run my backups?  Thanks in advance for ANY ideas...
