Usb disk not automatically showing up
I have an Usbdisk (external) in an Dimension8400 pc with windows XP (tried both pro and home).
When the system is starting up (the led in usb disk is blinking) and i log in to the system. Opening explorer and the usb disk is missing. When i turn the power off and on again the disk is ok and ready to use. Okey this is not a problem you say, but I share some files in my local network on that disk and the sharing is not visable after power off/on så I must put them back on. This is realy frustrating me.
I have vacumcleaned internet but can not find any soultions that look like my situation. Is there anybody out there that has fixed a problem like this??
Another hint is: If i (under boot) turn on the usb disk when (windows xp starting up screen is showing) then it si displayed correctly in explorer and shares are intact.
(It might be a Bill Deamon living in my Dimension8400, I don´t know)
Please help me

I am sure that I understand your question 100% but I will try to answer as good as possible.
At present time is is only connected equipment this: Cannon flatbed scanner 5000F,and Cnet 8port "extra" usbhub with cables to external units connected (no other live units). and the usb disk.
There is 6usb ports in the back of the pc and 1 in front.

Just for kicks, try connecting in the row of four to the port closet to the outside and reboot. If that's not it, then I'm out of ideas.
Sorry.
