A USB Mass Storage Device that does this is poorly designed at best, and probably not compliant with the USB specification. I can't recall a situation where a device is allowed to just "disappear" once plugged in and enumerated without the user doing something (a bus-powered device anyway). You should see if there is a firmware upgrade available for it. Then again, I know firsthand that Microsoft had USB Mass Storage pretty wildly wrong as late as the release of XP SP...2 I think, maybe 1, so who knows, could be MS's fault. -- Gary R.
