I've had this happen before and a reboot resolved it. You might also try another USB slot.

It can be drive letter problem. Do you have any other disks mapped?

Go to Disk Management Console and change the drive letter for that device..

Hi N1K,

I do not have any other disk or Drive letter mapped out,so i do not thinks it's drive letter.I have tried to access it through management console by asigning another drive letter but this did not sovle the problem also

It doesn't have a drive letter in Disk Management,i normally asign a drive letter whenever i access it from the management console.
