Dear list, I believe that it is due to the amojnt of power that hard drive is using (someone said that the USB ports on the mPowser needs less than 500 miliamps of power). Sometimes hard drives can be slow (I had no problem inserting and removing my own Passport on my own mPower).

I have over 150 folders, and probably close to 500 files on my drive, and have no problem with it being recognized. It is a bit slow, when I want to know the size, but after about six or eight minutes it will come back and tell me the size of the drive and so forth. But I have no problems with it being recognized, saving files or anything else.
