Connect the drive to your PC and check in the properties to see the file system. If it is new and empty, or you don't mind wiping it, you can use something like SwissKnife to format it to FAT32.
I have a western digital mybook 500gig connected to my 60gig ps3 via usb. The only problem I have is every now and then I have unplug the usb cord so it can recognize the drive. Long story short I have none of the problems you are having maybe you do have to reformat your drive but then again I know my drive isn't in a FAT32 format.
