Hi,
I have 2 PC's. 1 with XP with an External USB HD. The 2nd PC has Win ME.
Is there such a thing as an External USB HD that will work with Win ME?
Where, when and how can I purchase it and install it?
Almost all of them do. Two issues though: you have to use the FAT32 filing
system for WinME to recognise the disk. WinME will almost certainly require
a driver to be loaded. This can usually be obtained from the drive
manufacturer's website, but look out for a CD in the drive packaging.
Windows ME has built-in drivers for these drives, there would only be a
need for drivers if the drive was using non-native or proprietary drivers.
