Lacie External Hard drive with Windows XP

1650 Views 9 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  ShawnSS
I got a Lacie 160gig Firewire hard drive. I am running Windows XP. I hooked it up and Windows didnt recognize it. I heard about how Windows can only recognize external hard drives in 32gig sized partitions for fat32 format. I need it for both Mac and PC so thats why I need fat32. Can someone tell me if there is any way I can hook this up without having to buy more stuff like cards or software? If not what is it I need?

Thanks

Just guessing from your post, but it sounds like it needs to be formatted.
