A quite classic problem, been biten by that before (I've got the same
drive). Try using a 2.1.12x, it works almost(*) great for that purpose.

(*) almost, because Linux and M$ operating systems disagree on how to
interpret partition tables for disks where the hardware sector size !=
512, making NT-formatted MOD unreadable by Linux. I haven't done the
detective work to check who's guilty, however, and if Linux' way of
reading the ptable has to change, it'd break compatibility with older
partitioned disks ; obviously, the new partition table policy would have
to be either optional or automatically detected (if at all possible).
Knowing who's guilty would help find a good name for that option (either
fix_ms_ptable_bug or read_buggy_linux_ptable :-) )
