Are you still USING IT attached to the SAME USB adapter or in the same enclosure?
If not, I have my theories about ONLY using a drive WHERE it was formatted or setup.

I have a feeling you hooked it up "direct" to the MB.  That generally works, but IT
does not have to. There were different "flavors" of LBA translation in the past,
but at least on the MODERN MBs that seems to be somewhat standardized.

The USB adapters are REALLY cranky when you try to use them with older
(very small) drives.

Just a thought...
