Mmm.. the drive is USB... so SATA etc should not come into the equation? It would be entirely up to the disk controller to deal with disk interfacing from USB. And USB 2.0 drivers were incorporated in SP! and SP2.
I like this bit: "as it'd take longer to fix than to reinstall...?

Deep, deep in the woods, but walking about.
Exactly what i was saying (actually native usb mass storage drivers are in Windows 2000 and ME), its just SP1 and SP2 increased the speed

If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
Please read my post... it is working CORRECTLY on ANY OTHER WIN XP MACHINE. Even ones that never seen an external hard drive for all their usefull life :p
Everyone agrees that if it needed a driver, there would still be a yellow question mark in the device manager. There are none in my device manager.

I do understand, gogetta, but don't know the answer. I could make one point... do other USB devices that make a substantial power drain on the USB host work on your machine? Not thinking thumbdrives here, but maybe a wireless receiver or somesuch.

It could be but what's bugging me is that it all worked flawlessly before I formatted the hard drive.
Now right after windows is finished installing, it won't work... All the other usb devices do. No new devices since the formatting.
Aliens I tell you! haha. Though I'd really like to find the answer.
