In vista disk management, when it says the disk is not initialized there will be a little red arrow on the disk icon on the left of the unallocated space. Right click on the little red arrow and select initialize disk.

You could also try shuting down the Vista laptop and disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes then reboot and plug the external drive back in.

Is the drive still OK when using Windows 7?
