Friends say the driver or software installation, but it was only the backup software. Nothing else. Strangely my very old iBook can detect withiut install anything!make sure your hard disk is formatted. Also computers with 24-bit can not recognize dealing with volumes above the capacity of 137GB. This is important because hard drives can be recognized not only on the size of the volumes. If your BIOS does not support the newer 48-bit addressing you just have to partition the drive into 3 or 4 volumes (available capacity should be 372GB because 1 GB = 1024 MB not 1000MB). An easy way to check this is to find volumes (aka readers as c: \), with a capacity exceeding 137GB. Bottom line is to check the manual.

I suppose you Black Series 400GB with both FireWire 400/800 and USB 2.0, I think it is that you are talking about. First, you connect it to your iBook and have you as HFS, if you did, Windows will not be able to see it. I am not saying that you did it, but IF you do, you have to reformat it with FAT32 or NTFS which can also be read by your iBook. But Windows can not see discs formatted in HFS.
If not check it support page for Windows XP, but does not require drivers for USB drives.
