Ok, having some trouble with my USB HDD, I traded out a smaller 2.5" (40GB) HDD for a larger (60GB) HDD. This drive still has windows xp installed on it, and for whatever reason I can not access it, it does not show in my computer, however I can see it as "Disk 2" in disk management, the problem is that it shows as "not initialized" and when I do initialize it it shows only 32MB as active and shows 2000GB or so as unallocated, and it shows the whole disk as 2040.06GB which is well...way off. When I initialize the disk with MBR I can make it all one volume, but wile in the middle of this process I get an error (see screenshots). Also once I close out disk management or refresh everything resets back to step one. I am at a loss of what to do here, any ideas?

Thought I would give an update for anyone with the same problem, turned out to be the enclosure, it seems after 4 years of beating the thing to death I finally succeeded. :D
