Doesnt work to well with Vista


I am using vista on a desk top and a laptop and both have absolutely no
problem with external HDs I prefe Wester digatl drive aqnd they work
perfectly

WDs die easily. I've had multiple WD external drives (from the My Book
series) die over the last six months, while Seagate, Maxtor, and LaCie
drives, all of them older than the WDs, still live. As the WDs die I'm
replacing them with Seagates and LaCies.
