These are the three products in question. Plus Windows XP Pro SP2.

Each time I toss this disk into the dock and power it up, it must be reactivated in Disk Management.
After the dock is powered up, I must open DM and I find the disk is listed as "Dynamic/Offline". I right click the disk and choose "Reactivate Disk", wait a couple seconds and it then displays as Healthy and is ready to use.

I have 5 other drives of similar lineage (either the 1001FALS or the 20EADS) and this is the only one that must be reactivated each time. I can't plainly see any setting that would cause this. They are all set for "quick removal", although I still eject using the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon.

Any advice?
