Hey RS Comp guru's

I have a Nexstar 3 External Enclosure + 300GB Sata II HDD
Running a P5K mobo with E-Sata capabilities. It took me awhile to try and figure it out, but originally the E-sata was NOT working and the USB was working. Go great, format the HDD then everything should be good to go right? Wrong. Everytime I format the HDD, everything SEEMS fine. EVerything works the way it's suppose to, hotswapping and all. So I haven't turned on my External HDD for about a month, then last night I tried to turn it on while the comps on it froze my comp. So then I tried rebooting the comp with the External HDD on and it then detects the HDD in mycomputer but wont let me click it. It forces a reformat. So I reformat it and the same thing happens all over.

When I go to disk management, it says the HDD is in RAW format. So I keep reformatting in the NTFS format and everything is all good once I format. I can use the HDD and transfer stuff. But when I power off the external HDD and reboot the HDD shows up again as RAW format!

I can't figure it out for the life of me. Ideas anyone?

Thanks
