    I'm using the windows 2000 server backup utility to save data to my WD external drive. When I schedule a backup, the backup never starts. I will get the error message that the drive has been removed and has not been shut down correctly. The drive hasn't been removed. It always sits in the closet with the server. If I do remove it, I do it correctly. When I look at the event viewer. I see the message: received a device interfacing removal notification for device...( the WD USB drive ). Then a few seconds later a arrival notification for the USB drive. This event occurs a few seconds after the backup is scheduled to start. Please help!
