I removed the drive from the external USB case and connected it to the
IDE cable, but the problem of "unknown partition table" persists.

I downloaded the Western Digital diagnostics iso and ran a full test -
returned a result of no errors found.

The data on this problematic drive exists on other drives, so I am
going to go ahead and use cfdisk to re-partition the drive and see how
that works out.

Thanks for the suggestions!
