Press - Windows key and pause break together --- this will give you the System Properties window. Tab on the Device Manager tab - this shows all devices - at the bottom click on - Refresh. This will mount the scsi device if its switched on. ( even if it shows a device which is unknown just cancel this message it has mounted it ) if you refresh and nothing has appears to have happened it will have mounted the device. The device manage records which devices are/have mounted and switching off the device and turning it back on you don't have to remount it.
