i mentioned having problems with my external hdd. after booting from the system disk and running disk utility i found that it could not find a problem with the drive. i restarted and it mounted fine. my computer goes to sleep and when it wakes the drive is broken again. i am finding this very confusing. is there a possibility this is due to the OS or something software related, rather than hardware?
