Raspi doesn't see external hard disk at boot

Wed Aug 21, 2019 5:48 pm

Hi everyone,
I have a Raspberry pi 3b with Raspbian Buster and an external hard disk USB 2.0 .

I have the following problem: when raspi boots, it doesn't see the hard disk.

I have to manually switch off the hdd (it has it's own power supplier) disconnect the USB and then switch on again and connect the USB.

After three/four times it finally works and the hard disk is mounted automatically.

Thanks a lot.

Solved!

It was a problem of power consumption. I removed the keyboard dongle and now it's working fine. :D
