If you connect your drive to another computer do you encounter the same problem? How about a different USB cable?

Did you try it in a USB 2.0 port? Does the drive show in Disk Management? Look down wher drives are shown as bars does it say anything there like Raw?

QUESTION: why was your initial drive replaced?

anyway:

DIAGNOSIS: Faulty USB port within th external case… endemic fault  within the 2TB/3TB external “book” series… check the posts by Joe_S and fzabkar for more information…
