Thank you all for your thoughts. No it is not a driver issue. Yes I have tried it on multiple machines and get the same results. I don't care that I lost the data that was on there, I just want to be able to use the device again. It's like having an unformatted HD in you computer, the OS sees...

Thanks bcastner, sounds like more of a pain than it's worth. I was hoping for a simple GPO, but obviously MS is sleeping on the job again :) Thanks anyway.

Does anyone know if there is a way to disable hibernation using group policy? Also, is there a way to set the standby settings using group policy? If it these can't be done with a GPO, is there another way to do this for all users on the network? Thank you Scott

I was using the schtasks.exe /create command to create the task from a batch file, but you can only choose Monthly or Onlogon with the /sc switch. What is a "date test"? Thanks
