![]() To maintain this comparability with XP, OSX, ext3… WD Externals have a secondary PCB controller card on those HDD’s. Usually i’ll create 3 equal size partitions-and do all of that on Windows 7. I have used it but still prefer to let WD format the drive as MBR if it’s to be used on XP, I have 7 Pro 64, 10 Pro, Ubuntu, Debian and still somehow XP remains my main workhorse. Paragon makes an app that allows XP to process GPT & MBR HDD’s. I have found WD’s quick format works pretty well. You have to initialize/format them with the right tools. I’ve got 10 of them, the most recent 4TBs bought from Amazon today and working fine on XP. It’s been possible to format WD Externals 3,4,5+Tbyes for some years now.
