Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver Not Supported in Windows XP* or Windows Vista* 
The Intel® USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Driver is not supported in Windows* XP or Windows* Vista. For these operating systems, make sure your BIOS settings have the xHCI Mode set to Auto or Smart Auto. This step reconfigures the USB 3.0 ports to function as USB 2.0 ports using the native Windows* EHCI driver. 

But only if this Hard drive you purchase is a 3.0/2.0 USB, it should then work on your XP PC but as a 2.0 USB connection. meaning, you will not be transferring at a higher speed rate as 3.0 USB does quicker speeds.

Yup. Make sure you format it with the correct system type.

I'd also hurry and get off XP. Support ended months ago.
