External drive some time show up some time not?
Strange problem. I bought an external hard drive for backup last month. When I connected my external drive, it did show up. However, when I work for sometime, I found the light of the external drive turned off by itself, then it did not show up any more. I then disconnected it and plugged it to my laptop again, the light was on again and it showed up again! What was happening?????

Most likely the External drive is going to sleep after a period of inactivity. There may be a setting you can change to prevent this, check the instructions.

Have you tried a different cable? That would be the most obvious to try. If not, then the hard drive or the USB port is bad.
