Vista + passport external hdds

    I was told that the WD Passport externals dont work with vista? Can anyone confirm this?

    I'm in the market for a small hdd for work as lugging a WD MyBook or two thru airports isn't nice. I had my eye on the 160gig WD PP but if it doesn't work with my home vista machine it's kinda useless.

    If it doesn't work, can anyone suggest a good reliable small form external drive?

    Not sure where you heard that but it's a load of crap to be honest. They do work on Vista no problem, in fact I have one hooked up to my laptop running Vista Business at the moment.

    Perfect. Good to know.

    Sorry, it was the older pp drives that won't work. I'm gonna assume you have the pp II model.

    Got me one hooked in right now. Never heard any complaints about the older models but meh - I bought this a month ago.

    It is the Passport II I believe, yes. Though I haven't had any problems with the older model either. Must just be a driver issue. Should be easy enough to find online.
