Thanks Beni. Actually, I tried it in another computer with the same issue. It just sat there blinking with no response. I left it for about a half hour and it suddenly started working. I am confused, but it is fine again for now!

I have the same problem with my Digital Research external HD. The light is blinking and my Linksys file server cannot pick up the HD. What should I do?
