well i guess... the drive is not defective its just that Windows doesnt recognize the current partition on the drive.

just format it lang...

windows XP:
Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management

click on "disk management"

select the drive you want to format... (BE CAREFUL as you may select your primary hd)
from there you can repartition and format
