Set up for external hard drive
I use MS Windows XP operating system. I have an MBOX HC 3500 external hard drive (new out of the box) with a start up disk. I speak english, but everything is in Korean. It appear that this hardrive will not set up with XP. It seems to want MS windows 98 or 2000. Is there an online source for a driver so that I can use this external hard drive?

With Win XP you should not need a setup disc. It should be recognized wih the native Windows Drivrs. Connect the External (this is a USB connected isnt it?) start the computer and go to Adminstrative Tools-Computer Management-Disk Manager and look fo Unallocated space. This should be your new drive. It would need to be Initialized or at least partitioned and formatted.
