I got a dual external drive, one box with two disks. Windows sees one of the disks, but thinks the other one is unformatted (only started to happen recently). Both work fine on Linux. I've tried plugging it into my Lappy, and same results, Windows wants to format it, Linux reads all the data.

The drive is formatted as NTFS, so that shouldn't be the problem. Any suggestions?

Does linux think the offending drive is NTFS?

Yes.
What sort of partition scheme are you using?

MBR or GUID?

Does the drive have an integrated RAID controller?

Have you run any sort of reindexing tools within Windows to examine the file system? If Linux can see it, then it should be easy to use some tools and make Windows see it....

I'm not sure whether it's MBR or GUID, it's an external SATA drive, shouldn't be any RAID controller on it, and computer should see it as IDE rather than ACHI.
Haven't run any reindexing tools.
