Mijzelf Posted January 26, 2008 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixeon Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mijzelf Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 No. The LBA48 problem is related to the default W9x IDE driver, which is not used for an USB disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahs Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Why format it as NTFS, wouldn't FAT32 be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chozo4 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 If I recall - some usb drives are being shipped pre-formatted with NTFS as of late which could be why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
