Whenever my laptop wakes up from sleep mode, I'm unable to see the external drive connected to it. I've tried restarting and reconnecting the external drive, and scanning the local and external disks for issues but found no problems.
The only way to get the drive working again is by restarting the whole laptop.
Any ideas why this is happening, and how I can fix it?
Configuration:
- Windows Vista 32-bit
- Western Digital Essentials - 640GB external hard drive
