Its like that.


Press  -   Windows key and pause break together ---  this will  give you the 
System
Properties window.

Tab on the Device Manager tab - this shows all devices -  at the bottom click 
on   -
Refresh.

This will mount the scsi device if its switched on.  ( even if it shows a 
device which is
unknown  just cancel this message it has mounted it )  if you refresh and 
nothing has
appears to have happened it will have mounted the device.

The device manage records which devices are/have mounted and switching off the 
device and
turning it back on you don't have to remount it.
