If I were in your position I would try re-formating it in fat32. I have 
a usb case with a 120 gig IDE drive in it and don't have any problems.

Stephen,
   Your suggestion might work in some instances but I'm a total convert
from the MS get rich quick schemes ad I need this external drive for the
purpose of back up for my two Ubuntu driven machines and I didn't care
for FAT 32 when I had to use so thanks but no thanks.  I'll learn to do
everything the Linnux way or die trying.
