Hmmm. It seems that the Western Digital partitioning tool default settings are the issue:
They apply a default partition size of 137 GB (allegedly for compatibility), however when I used the advanced manual overide to force it to the full 200GB NTFS partition...miraculously all is well and Windows can find the drive. FYI.
