"NO STORAGE PRESENT" error using My Passport drive in NTFS format with WD TV

I have the same problem.  The first time and second time I used it worked fine.  I added more media files connected it and it wouldn’t recognise it.  I ran the diagnositcs and it showed the passport elite HD driver failed.  I purchased My Book Elite loaded the media files, plugged it in, nothing won’t recognise it. 

Can’t up grade the firmware either. 

I took a cheap USB device downloaded one movie on it connected it…I had no problem.
