SATA HDD on external USB 2.0 problem

I have just bought an external caddy for a SATA hdd to go in USB 2.0. When connected windows XP picks up the drive, but when I go into computer management to format and partition the drive as the instructions say, it fails at about 17%, saying "The format did not complete successfully".

I know the drive is working fine, as when I plug it directly into the computer you can format, partition and copy files to and from it. Anyone with the same problem know how to fix this? Thanks.
