I have an external hdd 2.5" fujitsu MHT2060AT USB (60gb). My OS is WindowsXP
SP1. When I turn on PC, the hdd doesn't appear in "My computer", though I
see it in "start->setup->control panel-> manage- ment tools->computer
management". If I disconnect USB cable of HDD and then I reconnect it, hdd
works correctly. After this operation, if I reset PC hdd works but if I shut
down and turn on PC
again, hdd doesn't work.
