Old system doesn't like the new USB WD 1235 series

I put a new USB western digital WD 1235 (at least that's what the hardware detect calls it) on my old windows 2000 system and it hates it.

I got a WD 3TB and tried it, a WD 4TB as well, and it just doesn't like them at all. hey seem to be detected fine but disk management says "unreadable".

They both work great on linux. *sigh*

The older 4TB WD USB drives work without issue, I wonder why these ones don't.

I thought it might be the partition table, I zeroed the first part of the drive and it still thinks it's unreadable.
