| 615065 | 2007-11-26 06:22:00 | hi timmy I have a similar problem. It is an external western digital usb drive. It starts on its own when starting the machine. Sometimes when I start up windows it is there and sometimes not. Just before I had to go to the device manager and reinstall the driver and then it showed up on the windows explorer. I don't know the reason for this either, and may you got the same sort of thing happening? G |

| 615066 | 2007-11-26 18:46:00 | Yes. It is basically the same but I think I know why. I Think it is a hidden .dll and AUTORUN2.inf file that are missing. |

| 615070 | 2007-11-26 20:47:00 | USB flash drives DON'T like being formatted in NTFS. It might work on some computers, (within Windows), BUT if you want to make a bootdisk, it wont like NTFS. |

| 615071 | 2007-11-26 23:23:00 | Hi timmy101 and Speedy G onzales That sounds ineresting as I got two USB exterior drives on the table; one is a Pleiades with a 80 G B drive with manual on and of switch and the other a USB WD 259 G B "automatic" on/off. It is only the WD drive that has the problem mentioned. It it is the case right now. So I just reinstalled the driver and there it is? A pain allright! Have you timmy found the needed dll's and .info files? I will check the WD website to see if I find any documentation for this problem. G |

| 615072 | 2007-11-26 23:57:00 | Yes, its on DLL and inf for USB (www.keepmyfile.com) You need to have the hide system files unchecked. Copy into your drive: (Works on my Toshiba 2gb drive) |
