So you managed to get it past the garbage screen on detection? What turned out to be the problem?

Fdisk should be able to see the drive, even if there are no partitions. But I do think the Windows fdisk is a bit awful. Have you tried fdisk in Linux?

I know you'll hate me saying this, but Windows XP is good at recognizing drives. A drive will show up in Explorer even if it isn't partitioned, and you can format it right in Windows.
