Does anything special have to be done on Windows XP in order
to read / write / format a 200 GB USB2 external hard drive ?

In other words, does the IDE 137 GB ? limit apply ?

If so, what does one need to do to work with a 200 GB drive ?

I am look at buying a couple of these for $299 at
http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/prod...7P5XXFNWXG953A
for network backup.

Thanks,
Lynn

Just make sure you have SP1 and the associated 137GB changes applied.

Yes, unless you do that stuff.
