External hard drive turns off when computer is shut down
I have gone through two external hard drive enclosures and have had this issue with both, though not one from five years ago. When I turn off my Windows Vista Ultimate x64 system, the external hard drive enclosure (USB 2.0) powers down the hard drive, though stays on. When I turn my computer back on, the external hard drive remains off. The only way to get the drive to spin up again is to turn it off and wait for a few minutes before turning it back on.
