The zeroing did not work. After many hours it went to completion but then generated an error message. Giving up I read the Quick Install Guide and found the following:
"Mac OS X 10.2.8 is not compatible with FAT32 partitions greater than 128 GB. To use My Book with this operating system, you must reformat the drive to Mac system format. See Knowledge Base Answer ID 287 at support.wdc.com for instructions."
I followed the procedure given in Answer ID 287 and the drive formatted and tested OK.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
