Problem with WD My Passport Hi I am using a WD My Passport external drive. It mounts and works perfectley but all of a sudden the content disapear. I can see the icon in finder and I can open access the drive but no content can be seen. The problem is solved by restarting the computer or force the drive to eject, disconnect it and then re-connect. Cheers Triumph Girl
