Bit of a long shot, but are you using the original cable that came with the external drive? I had similar to the above when I used a cable that came with an externally powered drive with a USB-powered drive. The bad cable was much longer: that's why I used it. I even bought a replacement drive. Then I tried the short cable ans all was fine. Cheers ...
