What's the mistake in that?  4TB is fine hdd to have!


 EV> When I connected the 4TB'er to the XP Desktop, XP never saw

This has something to do with XP being 32-bit and therefore only capable of
addressing a 2TB partition, max.


 EV> The Vista Home Basic Notebook saw it just fine.

Hmmm..  Is/was the Vista = 64bit OS?

You've got some decisions to make.  ;)
