I have an external hard drive, my computer recognizes the harddrive when it
is turned on, then the Local Drive E: icon disappears? Any ideas

What happens if you turn it on (disconnected from the USB) and then connect
to USB?
What does disk manager show with it connected and turned on?
Does the drive work on any computer and has it worked on this computer
previously?
If you reboot with it connected and turned on - what are the results?
What if you just reboot and then - first thing after logon - connect it?
