Hi i recently put together an external USB2.0 external hd. Its one of those
enclosure kits that can house a standard HD. I have a maxtor 250GB drive.
Everything works great until i power off the drive and turn it back on at a
later point. Then in order for the drive to re-appear i have to go into
computer manager and re-activate the disk in order to get windows explorer
to see the drive again. Is there any way i can avoid this extra step
everytime? I've even tried 'safely' removing the usb device and no luck. I
have a USB camera with a memory stick that never seems to have this problem
and always comes up as drive F each time, so i would imagine it should be
something possible to accomplish.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
