The trace shows that everything works perfectly up until the first READ 
command sent to the drive.  The computer tries to read the first 8 
blocks (4096 bytes) from the drive, but the drive sends no data back at 
all.  After 30 seconds the computer gives up and tries to reset the 
drive.

There's no easy way to tell what's different about Windows.  Maybe a 
USB log of the Windows interaction would show something, maybe not.
