You lucked out the first time. 

The njb is finicky for reasons I don't entirely understand about
models of hard drive it likes.   Search nomadness.net for the
"blessed" list of hard drives for the njb3 and I'm willing to be yours
isn't on it. 

I had a similar problem, and ended up just buying a refurb unit off
creative's ebay store.   It was all of $50.
