I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

Is it powered via the USB?
Yes 2TB is a very big drive. Some versions of Windows would not support that.
Hi Tiger/doggie - yes USB and I have Windows XP which is supposed to be the one for this drive - there are no instructions with it other than connect via usb - do I have to format it??? Seemed like a good idea at the time!!!

What happens when you plug it in?
Hi Wendy,
Have you plugged it in to an appropriate USB port? You will probably need a Usb 2 port. Older computers may not have one, or it may be hidden behind it somewhere.
Cheers, Linda.

Doggie/Sparrow/Tiger - red light on device - tried restart, nothing - went to change drive, B is available (currently it's F) but get message saying 'changing the drive letter of a volume might cause programs to no longer run so am I sure I want to?'
pc is from 2006 - checked usb and I have one usb2 out of five so now I have to find it!!!
I don't think changing the drive is important. I think you just need the 2 port.
just checked my spec online and apparently have 6 usb ports - 4 rear & 2 front and they are all '2' - have tried EHD in three of them but nothing is happening????
