USB Drive Problems
Authored by: nickv2002 on Mar 17, '07 02:36:23AM

Sometimes I get this on my MacBook, but only when I have the computer set to ask for a password when awaking from sleep/screensaver. I only turn on this feature when I'm traveling so it's usually not a big deal... however sometimes I forget and I get stuck in half sleep mode where the computer is on (drives are spinning, fans are on, no pulsing light) but it won't wake up...

Haven't figured out why but unplugging my external USB Hard Drives seems to 'shock' it back awake when closing and opening the lid won't... I know it's not a good idea to do this while the drive is mounted but it's no worse than the alternative of holding the power buttons down to force a restart I figure.
