This is weird - When I've got the Disk management window open and switch on the external drive, I get two new partitions pop up just before my internal 'C' drive. They read as:
Partition/Basic/NTFS/Healthy(active)/1.95GB/475MB and
Partition/Basic/NTFS/Healthy/11.88GB/6.56GB

I haven't formatted this drive except that I tried to back up a partitioned drive to it and it should read as 80GB anyway.

I'll try the advice mentioned above, in the mean time, if anyone can shed any light on this that'd be great.

Thanks folks

Graeme
