Chris The blue screen goes of so quickly I cannot read it, so I cannot tell you what message it has on screen.
I originally had the drive in a ThinkPad 600, moved it to a 600E, moved it to a Umax 347T without reinstalling and all the time running XP and Linux Mint LXDE. Moving from the ThinkPad to the Umax required a few drivers being installed in Device Manager but it all worked fine. I no longer have the Umax, I do have a different newer Toshiba laptop I could hook it up to, but how would I install the video driver and should XP just detect the 240X video driver and run with it?
