I had similar happen with my usb enclosure. It would fail on a windows box and would not mount in a linux box. I was however able to fdisk it from linux (i.e. couldn't mount sda1 or sdb1 or whatever but fdisk /dev/sda worked). I deleted the partition on the drive and re-created it and did a mkfs and it was fine then. This drive I had removed from an older system and it needed a drive overlay to work in that system. Seems the drive overlay being on there confused things. Some new drives ship that way to make them easier for end users to install in old systems. Might be worth a try.
