HD Disconnects

Hey

Tonight my External Hard Drive has started disconnecting randomly whenever my iPod is connected along with it. I can use it on its own, but it only happens when I introduce the iPod.

I think its something to do with the power to the USB's following some research, but i cant find a decent solution.

Help, Thanks!

@bnpnu70 the HD was given drive letter D, I reconnected it and it was given F. Surely they should be the same :/

@OptimaLnrg I tried disabling that but the problem still persists

Also, When I plug it in I get another drive with the letter Q. Ideas?

the drive Q is named m4-ct128m4ssd2 ata device, which is my SSD and also my C drive. Ideas on that?

C = 128GB SSD
F = External Drive
Q = Not sure, but is called m4-ct128m4ssd2 ata device [which is the driver for my SSD]

Help pls!
