Hi all, it looks like getting a big external drive for my old XP box
is going to be more complicated than I had been expecting.
Just curious: do any of you have 4k sector drive attached via USB to Win XP?
Yes, internally in my desktop a Samsung ecogreen 2tb.
It apparently does a conversion internally to be compatible with XP.
There are alignment tools that will make it more compatible but they may
not work with older imaging tools.
Thus i have left it working on the internal conversion.
Sorry i am a bit fuzzy on this as its been a while since i installed it but
overall i remember thinking it would of been better to get a XP compatible
Hitachi drive instead.
