external harddrive (e-sata) keeps freezing under linux...

...and a reboot into windows is required to get it to remount. I have no idea what is causing this behavior and it seems to happen at random. I don't know if this would happen under windows as I hardly even use windows any more. Once it happens I have to boot into windows and then power cycle the external harddrive before either OS will recognize it and remount it. Does anyone here know why this might be happening or how to at least find out what is causing this to happen. Cavalry makes this external harddrive and I'm pretty sure there is a western digital harddrive inside. Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks for any help.
