WINXP should recognize it and allow you to format it. Then it's just a matter of characterizing each piece of software to use the new drive to save files to.

I'm having a similar problem, googled to here and read your reply which is just a re-statement of the problem and ZERO help - SHOULD? DIDN'T, you boob!

by older mycroft

At least he re-stated something - ALL you can manage is "[i]I'm having a similar problem[/i]."

So this similar problem of yours - is it:

The same make and model of PC? - I doubt it.
The same make and model of hard drive? - I doubt it.
The same symptoms? - I doubt it coz they weren't mentioned.

So oh great one - pray tell us your problem.

In not less that 75 words preferably. ;)
