My Iomega LDHD320-U USB HDD was running just fine with Vista 64 Ultimate [Hardware Abstraction Layer Version = "6.0.6002.18005"] until recently when it disappeared from My Computer [no drive letter] but was still visible to Device Manager. When I rebooted the drive letter reappeared but later when I resumed [from sleep] it disappeared once more. I searched the Internet but found no likely remedy.
I searched my System Event Log and found that my Windows Disk "C:" had a bad block [Event code 7] and so I scheduled a CHKDSK scan & repair on the next reboot. It took hours! but eventually found the bad block and seemed to repair the disk. The USB HDD drive letter reappeared after reboot and it now persists even after multiple sleep / resume cycles. Have you had this experience? do you have any explanation? Thanks.
