I have Windows ME. I was performing an Upgrade to Home XP
this morning. The "compatibilty check" warned me that the
following hardware that "might not work" with XP
and "might need additional files to work with XP":
Disk Drives
IEEE-1248.4 Compatible WDM Mass Storage Device (HPH11)
IEEE-1248.4 IOS Port Driver (HPH11)
I assmune the first item is my hard drive. So, I am
scared as heck to perform the uprade if my hard
drive "might not work". I searched both the HP and Dell
(my computer) web sights for Windows 2000 or XP driver
upgrades for these devices. No luck.
So, have I wasted my money on Windows XP? What are the
chances my hard drive won't work if I complete the
upgrade? Has anyone out there had any experience with
this?
Oh yeah, by the way, according to the Microsoft Support
web site I am supposed to get free online support for
installation problems related to XP. But, when I tyr to
login to ask a question, it asks for the "Product ID" to
continue for "free support". Of course, you don't know
the product ID until after you install the upgrade!
