Have you tried removing the jumper to run as a (single or master) ? I have one I swap in my system as a slave to hold DVD rips when the 60 gig WD movie storage drive fills up.

If you go to the WD website, you can download their "Data Lifeguard Tools disk" version 10.0, which will format and partition their harddrives in about 30 sec.

Are you saying you have the jumper completely removed and the Data Life Guard floppy in the A drive when you bootup ?
