Are you sure it's not power related? I've seen several drives that won't
work with USB because they need more than 500ma to run or start. Most
computers now days will not allow a USB device to consume more than 500ma.
This causes unpredictable behavior.

This is a moot point if you're using a USB drive that has a power cable.
