I re-installed the system last night. Weather was bad and I decided to
close work down early.
I got to thinking about it, and simply did a search for "da*" in the
device directory. It came up with "da0" and "da0s1". "da0" produces

Don't have a clue as to the type of drive. I bought it at CompUSA over a
year ago. On the case, it simply says:
USB2.0
2.5" slim
It works fine under Win XP. It is an IBM hard drive within the case.
But I realized last night that I am having similar problems with a 40

Yes, this drive works fine under windows XP. It has fat32 file system on it.
