My neighbour had something similar happen to him. He has an external
USB/NAS drive formatted FAT-32 that had worked without any problems
for fourteen months between Vista and 10.4/10.5, with NAS
wired/wireless and USB on both computers. (Vista -> NAS wired/USB,
iMac 10.4.11/10.5 ->NAS wireless/USB) He's even used it to bring
files to my G5/10.4.11.
After he ran the latest Security Update on Leopard, and then used the
drive via USB to the iMac, Vista can't see the hard drive either NAS
or USB. Prior to the Security Update, the drive could be seen by
both OSes using multiple interfaces. We checked to see if permissions
were changed on the drive and there was nothing glaringly obvious.
So, yeah, I'd have to agree with you that 10.5 is doing something to
external drives that wasn't being done in earlier OSes.
