EV> One of the many many mistakes I've made using computers was
EV> when I saw a very good price for a 4TB WD My
EV> Passport "External" HDD and bought it.

What's the mistake in that?  4TB is fine hdd to have!


EV> When I connected the 4TB'er to the XP Desktop, XP never saw
EV> it.

This has something to do with XP being 32-bit and therefore only capable of
addressing a 2TB partition, max.


EV> The Vista Home Basic Notebook saw it just fine.

Hmmm..  Is/was the Vista = 64bit OS?


EV> Now I'm not so sure I want to take those Files off either
EV> one of those 2TB Drives.

You've got some decisions to make.  ;)

Cheers,
 ..A
