LOL, ya go figure. Sorry GF stayed form thursday to sunday

I was a bit busy....

Sucks using those logcial drive managers. Jumping through hoops sucks. It does explain why XP couldn't read the partition. LOL, forgot to mention that part eh?

Glad you got it working...

fdisk it in your old pc. afterwards, format it as fat 16 or 32. you should be able to format it to some kind of file system. i was able to do this on my 80gig wd as well (fat32). or i think i didn't format the drive and jsut stuck in to my new system.....try that too. if xp sees it, format to ntfs. if not, i'll buy it from you for $1.00.
