The drive works on my son's XP machine.

I hope so. I specifically asked my son for a used WD. He knew better
than even bring a Seagate into my house. But I think he grabbed the
wrong disk and now realizes that there was no spare WD.

I was just hoping that there was something simple here, but as I found
out, nothing is simple with Seagate. I once had a tape drive and it
conflicted with the CD player. No amount of configuring would take
away the conflict. But no one could find it - not Mitsumi (CD player)
or Seagate. That's the kind of crap you have to put up with when you
fool around with Seagate - so it is not surprising to learn here that
my disk problem falls into the same category.
