I have no regular access to Windows XP or Vista machines.
No friends or neighbors with doz? That's rather unusual, unless you have neither friends nor neighbors.
cfdisk does not work either.
:-(
The fact that the disk drops out at irregular intervals is disturbing.
Quite. :-( How old is the system? What I/O chipset does it have? Maybe your motherboard's USB system is the real problem. You could try installing a well-supported USB card in a PCI slot to see.
A MacBook Pro with OSX 10.5.6 does not see the disk either.
Well, probably not your motherboard then. :~(

How far is that from Hageland? If close, maybe my friendly web carpenter friend can try to do NTFS for you in Windows. Probably now it is time to contact WD support, or take it back to the vendor for refund or exchange. -- "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."
