Howdy! August,

A couple of years ago I bought a 4TB WD My Passport USB 3.0 HDD and
didn't see an icon for that HDD come up in Windows Explorer's (WE)
My Computer when I connected it to the XP box.

The HDD showed up in Vista WE

On the box, the Compatibility section says its for Win 10, 8.1 or
7, so I suppose I should consider myself lucky Vista saw it.

After seeing that 3.0 Flash Drive appear in WE when I plugged it in
the XP box last week got me to wondering if I used a little more
patience, and waited a few minutes longer I may see it come up in
XP WE if I waited long enuf.

NOPE!

That HDD must just like MS O/S's newer than XP SP3.
'Cuz I waited several minutes and also looked to see if the HDD LED
blinked on the XP box's Front Panel, and never saw any activity.

I started thinking maybe there might be something like a Powered
USB Hub that had USB 3.0 connectors so that I could plug the 3.0
HDD in one of the front connectors and put the output cable to one
of the USB 2.0 jacks on the XP box.

Have You (or Anyone else reading) heard of such a Critter?

BTW that isn't the only ROUNDTUIT on my list to do.
It's just another ROUNDTUIT I added to MY LIST.

You have a ROUNDTUIT LIST too, don't You?
(Probably not as large as mine though).

Thanks es (And) 73 (Best Regards) de (From) Ed W9ODR  dit       dit
