First thing that comes to mind; are you changing which physical port it is plugged into sometimes?

The operating system may remember this external drive as being plugged in to one certain slot, and changing this may cause the issue.
Usually whenever I have drive recognition issues (not just with BiaB) it's because I've moved things around.

If it's a drive 'power' problem, that's another possibility. Does the drive appear to turn on?
Any indication of activity from the drive when this happens?
Does it make any noise at all, or lights, or bells or sirens?

When it does fail, take a second to see if the drive itself is alive.
Then we can move on to connection and OS possibilities.

If you have 2 backups copies, you are likely fine there.
Plus in your PGMusic account you should have links to re-download everything you need anyway. smile
