Yes, this drive works fine under windows XP. It has fat32 file system on it. When I had FBSD v5.2.1 on this computer several months ago and the system recognized it fine. But none of the Linux distros would recognize it. However, I realized last night that this installation of FBSD is not recognizing my 40 GB Buslink hard which all versions of UNIX has recognized, including FBSD when I had it on before. I use this drive all of the time. FBSD did recognize it during the installation process, but I hadn't looked at it since until last night. It also has a Fat32 format. I'm beginning that SSH is the problem. I did not have it installed before.
