Most of the Mac users did a brave thing last week, we all upgrade our OS to the latest and snowiest leopard in town… some of us with mixed luck…

The thing that I had troubles with, is a beautiful firewire 800 external disk drive (a gift from a very good friend), appears since I upgraded begun to disconnect randomly, but with a twist, when it was connected via USB, nothing happen.

I had to tell that I did a clean install of snow leopard (yes you can do it with the upgrade disk).

When I remember that setting, I realize that all my setting were wiped, so I look into the energy preference panel, and there was my answer, the option “Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible” was selected, seems like its a firewire disk it actually sends the sleep command.

I disable it for the battery and power adapter profile and my problem was fixed.

Hope this helps to save some time for someone in google.
