The first time it happened I had no idea system restore was on and had
no reason to suspect  my external USB 2.0 drive was not being "seen"
because of it.  My first thought was that the drive was defective.  A
quick test with my desktop dispelled that idea.

It was just by luck I noticed system restore was on.  Since I don't
normally use it on the notebook I turned it off.  Then like magic, the
external drive appeared.  All this occurred when booting from the TI
boot recovery CD.  Using TI from windows, it didn't matter.  The drive
was there regardless.

Have fun.  Getting cold here tonight.  I think we have an Arctic front
moving through.  That usually means there's a possibility of sleet and
maybe even some freezing rain.  Yuck!

Regards.
