I had that problem with my WD "My Book" external Hard disk too. What worked for me is the following:

1 - Plug your external HD to your base station.
2 - Unplug the power cable from the base station.
3 - wait 2 minute...
4 - Plug the power cable back onto the base station.
5 - wait 2 minutes...
6 - By now it should have recognized your hard disk.
7 - You should be able to see it in the base station prefs.
8 - If you don't, go back to step 2 and wait a little longer...

After that mine works fine... hope that helps you a little...

Do you think this solves the problem? Mark it as solved

Issue with Airport Extreme Base Station and LaCie drive
Why won't my Airport Extreme Base Station, recognise my LaCie 750GB D2 drive? I have owned the drive for months, and never had a problem using it directly attached to my Mac. I have reformatted the disk (Mac OS Extended) and used the base stations USB connection for other devices without any issue. LaCie support say this is a known issue and the issue is with the base station.
