Caviar Green 2TB disappears after sleep/hibernation

Im afraid of posting this as im sure its not a unique issue, but I couldnt find anything relevant on the forums.  Im running Win7 Ultimate and im not experiencing any SMART errors. the Hard drive works great otherwise, I just have to reboot my comp every time it goes to sleep. Are there any firmware fixes that have long since addressed this? or is it a device driver setting.  Thx
