[USB HDD DISAPPEARS AFTER BOOT]

Hi horsecharles,

Thanks for the info, but my problem is a little bit different from theirs.

Every time a plug the hdd, it works fine, Windows Explorer maps the drive (I:).

If I keep the hdd plugged and (reboot) or (turn off and turn on) the computer,

Windows explorer doesn´t map automatically the drive. I have to unplug and then

plug the hdd in order to access the hdd.

Thanks anyway

[USB HDD DISAPPEARS AFTER BOOT]

Hi all,

I have a USB external HDD and when I plug it (Windows XP, SP2), it works fine. Windows recognizes it and a new drive (I:) appears in Windows explorer.

The problem is, when I reboot the PC, Windows explorer doesn´t mount

automatically the HDD (I:).

I need to unplug the HDD and plug it again in order to access the HDD (I:)

Does anybody know how to solve it ?

Thanks
