Disconnect your My Book drive and turn it off using the front switch. (You will have to push kind of hard on the bottom of the circle. It takes a second to shut down, so wait.) Now, with the drive off, connect it back to your system. The drive should automatically come on and connect properly.
The problem is that the drive only runs the setup when it first comes on. That way, it can automatically shut down when you turn off your computer and vice versa. But, it has to start in the off state.
The USB cable that comes with the drive is a standard USB cable--nothing special. Any standard USB cable will do the trick.
(By the way, did you get the 160GB $40 from Best Buy? That's what I just got--awesome!)
