Thank you for your help, Vinny. Coincidentally, I just
ordered a new XP system from Dell yesterday! But
anyway, when I do the fdisk -l, I get

Partition table entries are not in disk order

so it looks like I have the USB drive plugged into
/dev/sda3 (there are four USB ports on the computer),
and the file system is "OnTrack DM6 Aux3". Earlier
today, I stored three test jpeg files on it, on a
Windows 2000 system at work. Is there a filesystem I
could format it with, that would work for Windows XP,
Windows 2000, and Linux? And how would I do that? I
appreciate the help very much.
