I would think that this points to a driver problem, but then again, the pro= blem also fails to show up when I reboot my computer while the drive stays on. The only time when the problem consistently shows up is when I turn my comp= uter off for a longer period of time (with or without turning off the power strip the PC and HDD are attached to). For example, after turning the PC off for= the night, the problem always occurs after I turn it back on in the morning. I wonder if it has anything to do with my USB3 PCI card. (This is, incidentally, why I haven't been able to try it with my brother's= PC yet: the only condition where I know the that the problem will show up is a= fter leaving my computer off for the night or while I'm gone during the day. So= I would have to try it with my brother in the morning or evening, but that has not been possible yet.) One more thing I'll try: not having the HDD plugged into the USB3 slot when= my computer boots up.
