  Hello!

  When I wake my computer up from sleep it sometimes does not find my Western Digital 500 GB Essentials Edition FireWire HDD or it is very slow to find it.  This causes a mutlitude of problems including not being able to record TV shows, find files, or otherwise without pulling out the chord and reconnecting it.  I notice that the drive goes to sleep on its own after no activity for awhile.  I've installed the drivers but to no avail.  Any ideas?

   

  A Little Insight:

  Windows Vista Ultimate

  64-Bit OS

  4 GB OC RAM

  640 MB GeForce 8800 GTS OC

  Pentium Quad Core Q6600 OC
