xp sp3 / firewire800

[Huck31]

Ive searched and found nothing.

I just installed xp sp3 via boot camp on my i7 15" mbp.

the device manager shows my lacie rugged hard drive but i cannot access it in my computer or anywhere else.

Ive searched and come up with slow speed issues and such, but none that my drive doesnt even show up. it tones when i plug it in and remove it, but cannot access it anywhere.

It worked perfetcly on my old c2d mac.

It probably if formatted for Mac OS X, using HFS+/Mac OS Extended as file system and Windows can't read it natively.

FAT32

• Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
• No individual file larger than 4GB.

NTFS

• Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
• Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
• To Read/Write NTFS from Leopard: Install MacFUSEand NTFS-3G. You can install both with NTFS-3Gfor Mac OS X.
• To Read/Write NTFS from Snow Leopard: Guide: Enable native NTFS Read/Write in Snow Leopard
• (Be aware that some are of the opinion that enabling native NTFS in SL is unstable/unreliable, and favor the MacFuse/NTFS-3G method for Snow Leopard)

HFS

• Read/Write HFS from native Mac OS X
• To Read/Write HFS from Windows, Install MacDrive
• To Read HFS (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
