   A long time ago I got a 3TB WD External HDD for this XP pc.   
   I used it with a FireWire cable.   
      
   I just now tried to see if XP could see it but failed.   
      
   So I tried unplugging the FireWire connector and using a USB cable but that   
   hasn't been recognized by this computer either.   
      
   Oh Well, another learning experience I will have to put on the ROUNDTUIT   
   List to figure out why iirc the HDD worked long ago but not now.   
      
   HMMMM?   
      
   Could XP see a 3TB HDD or is 2TB the limit as You wrote earlier.   
      
   Thanks, 73 de Ed W9ODR
