I found that on XP it just works. But on Win2000, I would have to go
thru the "install new hardware" routine every time I plugged it in. I
installed the driver for Win2000, and now I can just plug it in and go.
That software said it's only for Vista and higher, but that driver
worked fine on Win2000. Win98 cant read that drive no matter what,
because it's NTFS formatted, and I doubt I could format it to FAT32 due
to it;s size. (Or would have to have multiple partitions).


FAT32 allows up to 2TB (possibly more with larger sectors). FAT will
waste a lot of space when formatted to near maximum capacity (large
clusters), and your format program may refuse to allow this.

IIRC, I've heard of Windows having problems with multiple partitions on
a removable drive.
