I have a USB hard drive on Windows XP which won't mount when I reboot with an error dmboot: no mountpoint.

This is an internal drive that I put in a USB external case so that I could use it as a backup. The drive itself works fine, I just have to reactivate it everytime I reboot or log out.

I'd prefer not to have to reformat the disk because of the amount of material on the disk now.
