Clarity seems to be the buzz word this week. Drive disappears from explorer. Drive management shows nothing. Device manager has no listing. Pull the drive reinsert and they all come back. Drive internally is done via SATA. The USFF uses the same interface you would on a laptop . Push in on the lever and pull out and the drive comes right out. I haven't tried an explicit path but I am very sure that it wont work since there is nothing in device manager.
I am hoping there is some registry path or file I can pull and let the system redetect to make it stable. I just don't know how to troubleshoot that though. Greg Sweers CEO ACTS360.com P.O.

Anything in the Event Viewer log?
