[QUOTE="dennison, post: 438752, member: 34414"] I have the same problem. I have a whole array of External Hard disks and sometimes they simply don't show up. Currently I am having a problem with a new Western Digital drive, 360gb that just won't show up. Not even on the disk utility. I'm on a Macbook, and the drive is USB and self powered (not bus powered). I don't recall unplugging it without ejecting (I'm careful about this these days) so I don't understand why it would be having trouble. (*update*) Following an earlier suggestion, I do leave it and after a LONG while it does show up. Any suggestions about how to make the drive a bit more reliable? -dennison [/QUOTE]
