Seagate here as well. 250GB

However, not only will the drive not mount as NTFS or HFS+ (tried both), when I boot into windows I get an error saying the drive needs formatted!

I replicated this problem 3(!) times. Twice on my laptop and once on my desktop (both feisty).

I formatted the drive as EXT3 and it showed up in Ubuntu, but again when I went into windows with it (using an EXT3 driver as I have done numerous times before with other disks), I get a similar error about the disk and need to reformat.

Frustrating. Luckily I was able to recover the files that were on the disk the first time.

For now I do not trust using the Seagate in Ubuntu.
