I recently bought a Western Digital 1tb external for use with my macbook (I'm running Leopard). I have endless problems with it.

Sometimes when I plug it in it will tell me that it can't be read. Other times when it does read it, I get errors trying to add and remove things from it that cause everything on the harddrive to disappear. Sometimes, strangely, it will work without a hitch though. Does anyone know what is going on?
