The problem with the Seagate external HD is a Vista issue. After my reinstall, I can physically disconnect the external drive, wait a bit, plug it back and Vista recognizes it. HOwever, next time Vista is started up, it won't recognize it.

Hello,
Like I said earlier, re-install all your drivers. It has to be done after reinstalling Vista.
