Default 2 External USB HD for XP and ME

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.



Thanks for your help and tips ; Novice @ New Orleans Louisiana
