Ixeon Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) will it work? what drivers i must 2 install? Edited January 26, 2008 by Ixeon
Mijzelf Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 You'll need 2 drivers: 1) A driver for the USB disk itself, for instance this one.2) A NTFS file system driver. You can find a discussion on these here.And yes, it *can* work.
Ixeon Posted January 26, 2008 Author Posted January 26, 2008 Oh, I forgot to ask, i heared about win9x problem with hard drives over 137 GB. Is there any problem with usb hdd like this?
Mijzelf Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 No. The LBA48 problem is related to the default W9x IDE driver, which is not used for an USB disk.
galahs Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Why format it as NTFS, wouldn't FAT32 be better?
Chozo4 Posted January 27, 2008 Posted January 27, 2008 If I recall - some usb drives are being shipped pre-formatted with NTFS as of late which could be why.
galahs Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Mine was pre formatted with NTFSI used SwissKnife V3.22 (Convert NTFS to FAT32) --- http://www.compuapps.com/download/Swissknife/swissknife.htm to make a 350GB FAT32 drive
