Windows SP1 or the patch here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982018 dont seem to fix the problem. I guess I'll just use the Linux option for now until these drives are more widely used and there is a solution for it.

Maybe I missed something but lets say the OS is corrupt and I need to pull user data off that drive. How in the world do I do it if my W7 box shows the disk partition as raw?
