[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1886120, member: 190607"] That used to be a common problem. It was due to a timing issue on restart. You can use a utility to mount your external hard drives when they won't mount: Mountain ($6) [URL unfurl="true"]https://appgineers.de/mountain/[/URL] Or you can issue this command in Terminal: diskutil mount /dev/disk2s1 Volume VM Drive on /dev/disk2s1 mounted Or you can create a simple AppleScript and save it as a compiled script to issue the above command.
