Hi xbian community, Im having problem with and old Maxtor 500gb external hard drive.
This drive is connected without a hub to the raspberry and it has its own 2amp power supply.

The disk works great, xbian automount it, when im not using it, it spins down and when I need it it wokes up perfectly.

The only problem I got, is that sometimes you need to reboot your pi, and when I do that, I can´t see the disk, not using fdisk -l or any other option. Is not a mount problem, is that the pi can´t get the disk is already connected. The only way to fix it is plug off/on the power supply of the disk, then the disk start working perfectly.

Hope you guys can help my with this.

This is my dmesg when I turn on the pi
