USB external disk not plug&Play

Hi,
just got a new dell box with windows server 2003 enterprise.
Noticed that when plug in a USB external HDD, windows has no response - it
does not detect the new device. Only a reboot can get the USB HDD displayed.
Is there anywhere in Windows settings that blocks the USB external HDD
plug&Play?

thanks in advance
