External USB Hardrive - Loses Connection

[GW]

Hi,

My external drive keeps dropping its USB connection. I can't see it as a
drive in My Computer, can't access. The only way I can get access to the
drive is to to reboot, or unplug the USB cable to the drive and plug back in.


Thanks for your help.

Tammie!

If you are using a front port switch to a back port. Don't use a hub.
Report back if any of those changes help.

Thank you. We are already using a back port, and no hub.
