[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1287046"] It sounds like the drive is going into a power-saving mode that does not wake up when the USB port is reactivated. I have had the same problem with USB external enclosures before. I have now switched to all Firewire external drives and the problem has disappeared. I never found a fix. (BTW, I had the same problems with those drives in Windows as well, so it wasn't OS-specific, more hardware interface related.) [/QUOTE]
