I have a WD external hard drive connected to firewire 400 port on my
Intel Mac running 10.5.7
The external drive has two partitions - on running time machine and
the other is a backup clone.
In the last few days, on waking from sleep in the morning, the
computer shows the standard device removal warning "The device you
removed was not properly put away etc." and the icons for the
external disk are not on the desktop. This is a recent phenomenon
and does not seem to happen when the computer sleeps during the day.
Any clues/advice.

Hello Barry,
When this happens, with the drive connected and powered open Disk
Utility, does the drive show there?
If the drive is listed in the left side list then select the volume
even if it's greyed out, then click on the Mount icon in the DU toolbar.
Cheers,
Ronni
