I have a WD my book, 500GB. I am running Vista Home 64 Bit. At restart it takes forever. Today I disconnected the WD MyBook and it immediately starte. It sounds like a driver at startup issue.
If i reconnect the device, I see all of the partitions and they behave fine.

Hello, I have a Western Digital External Hard Drive (My Book) that my PC suddenly won't recognise. When I connect the HD via usb 2.0 there is a loud clicking sound followed by some whirring. This happens three or four times then stops. Device Manager on PC says no drivers detected. Had WD Drive for about five or six years. Running Windows XP. Thanks for any advice. Jonathan
