Thanks a great bunch Larry. My external HDD stopped functioning today right while I was browsing the net without any apparent reason. No matter where and how many times I reconnected the USB cable and how many times I uninstalled the unknown device, it just wouldn't work. I was worried that the HDD had failed. After reading your post I reconnected the power cable and it works just fine now Maybe the electricity power went a bit lower at some point since it's been raining heavily all day today...
