Greg, I do one better: I bought a SeaGate FreeAgent 500GB USB drive and it ran fine under both Windows(Vista Ultimate) and [K]ubuntu. All of the sudden Windows stopped recognizing the drive (i.e the OS sees the drive; but it assumes it's empty), while [K]ubuntu sees the whole thing. The SeaGate site says among other thing, that the drive should be -reformatted as a last ditch effort to get it to work on Windows--The problem is, I do not have a second 500GB drive to transfer the data from the first one. So for now, I only use it in [K]ubuntu (and copy anything worth saving to it under [K]ubuntu from the Windows partition)...
