The disk path is listed the way it is (basically prepared for editing) so you can configure the correct disk path from a windows command line disk utility, i/e sda0 sda1 etc. and configure the bus start up conventions, however that will still not be correct if you attempt to run it from another computer. Your best bet is probably to try the windows command line, and if you can get to mount properly clear it with the windows partition manager. Then go to a Linux disk utility and format it however you like. Right now it is being seen as storage in linux because it is SCSI on a USB. You might be better off to buy a 10$ SCSI to SATA adapter as suggested if you cannot use the windows disk manager to configure the disk order and convention in order to mount it. It's not mounting in Linux so the volume itself maybe using a proprietary paged startup convention, which only allows it to appear correctly in the windows build it was set up for, or it has an older windows security feature enabled, or it is using a striping convention for an older dated raid setup. Redo Backup might be a solution too. It's hit or miss as to whether the disk is still operable, but if it was working when you stopped using it, it is probably still operable, unless you had it in a high dust or high humidity area.
