Well, do not know if it helps, but I was having problems with my USB
HDD when I formated it with Windows XP. Then I partitioned and
formated it using some third party tools (Partition magic or something
similar - do not remember now) and all problems gone... I now have IBM
60GB USB HDD, Samsung 40GB and Maxtor external Combo HDD 200GB. Every
one works without problems with my IBM TP X30 USB 1.1 port and with
NEC PCMCIA USB 2.0 adapter.
