Well, Windows loaded fine, but when I access some folders (quite random), it does take a little longer than usual.
Basing on that, I would say that there is two possibilities:
a) You are using wrong type. Maybe you could try to reformat and use FAT32 instead? (I'm actually thinking this is the problem)
b) Your HD is going to end the working deal very soon.

I think it's the alternative a), as the problem occured after formating. Though it may also be just a coincide...
