Your sad little summary fails, oddly, to mention that the ONLY version this affects is XP, now nearly a decade old. Vista, Server 2008, and Win7 are all just fine. So what "failed to engineer a smooth transition" really means is "MS failed to go back and update all obsolete versions of Windows." Did Apple, which "took care of this many years ago", go back and fix all of its obsolete OSs? And, by the way, WD already has a complete solution to the XP "problem" for its advanced drives. It involves running a utility one time or setting a jumper. End of problem. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
