I just installed a hard drive in my mp, and it seems to freeze when I try to mount it in the usb page. Also, when I try to save something, it gives me a error message.
What seems to be the problem?

You've formatted the hard drive right?

If not, turn on MPC, go to LOAD, select the Hard Drive and hit the Utilities button (F3). It will then display FORMAT in the top left corner of the screen. Double check it the Hard Drive (should say in middle of screen) and hit DO IT.

If it's 5400rpm/8mb cache it's the same Samsung I've got, aside from being twice the size.
