Re: WD My Book External HDD not seen

Try running 'Add Hardware' from the CP.

If that doesn't do it, I would say restart the server. That usually fixes problems like that

Howdy,

I have two Western Digital My Book 1TB drives that i use for external backups.
I rotate them every Thursday to the bank vault up the street. This has been
going on since January without a problem.

Originally I deleted the WD program that came with the device and used the
USB cable to connect to the server.
No problems. Works like a charm.

Today I get the drive back from the vault and SBS2003 premium doesn't
respond to it at all.
I took it to a workstation and it work fine.
on this server...no go.

I usually use the Safely Remove Hardware icon by the clock so I don't think
it was removed without using that but it is a possibility since Iit has
happened before.

Any ideas?
