Re: Losing the same file over and over

Did you adjust the hard drive sleep time or the USB suspend settings or both? The suspend setting is the more important of the two.

As another troubleshooting step try a new USB cable and/or a different USB port on your computer.

As a last resort try googling your specific hard drive and the word "unmounts" or "dismounts" to make sure it's just not some inherent defect of that model.
