After TWO YEARS, someone should be able to give us a step by step, to "reconnect" an external, USB hard drive!  I unplugged and then plugged it, several times, without success.  I seem to have this problem with one of my disks USB, a Toshiba.  Access the drive through files Explorerer, seems to work, even if it is "disconnected". Historical files only has problems. Strange! Could it be the drive itself, or it is plugged in to the USB port?

I had the same issue this morning and found a solution that worked for me.

This post helped: Windows - historic community of 8 files windows does not recognize my drive hard iomega

NOTE:

-make a backup copy of the files you delete first! (just in case)

-J' had deleted my old historical records from the files on the ext. HDD, so I lost no data. I can't guarantee that the ancient history of the file will be there if you remove the configuration files, as described below. In my opinion, it shouldn't happen, but since I have not tried, I can't guarantee that.

After checking my disk for drive errors (none) and update the drivers (not not mandatory), I went to this location of records:

C:\Users\your user folder\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory\Configuration

and remove the four files that were on it. Because they determine the configuration of the file history, when I ran the service once again, I could set up my drive as if it had never been used before. I started historic files, and it lets me choose my hard drive and run the backup as it should.
