My guess would be that your Windows XP machine is not in the NTFS file system format. Here's what I would do - check the format your XP machine is in. Look up on the internet what the capacity of that format is - ie., can it read 4TB? And, also confirm that you can reformat the drive to your XP machine's format. However, reformatting will erase all the files on it, which are backup program related. You would want to save those should you want to go back to the factory setup, unless they are downloaded from the company's website.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe it would backup your drive at slower rate. Check with Western digital for the specs to see if they support Windows XP, need to install a driver or such.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's a usb drive so I don't see any reason it would not work on any pc running Windows.
