I just bought the Toshiba M305D-S4830 which has Vista Home Premium 64bit installed. The drive keeps disappearing. When it is working and I open up Device Manager, it suddenly refreshes and the drive is gone. No error message, the drive is just gone. It cannot be ejected, but the light on it is flashing all the time. A reboot brings the device back, but only for a random amount of time. Please help. -- Filthgrinder |
