Like a good PC user, I always backed up all our pics/docs/etc. to an
external hard drive (Western Digital) on my XP box (my XP box died) for
the past 4 years.  When I went to load the drivers for the WD hard
drive, so I could restore all those pic/docs/etc from that external hard
drive to my new VISTA box, I got a *&^%$ dialogue box from VISTA that
said there are know compatibility issues with the drivers for my hard
drive and VISTA - please contact the software author for resolution
(don't recall the exact syntax of the message).

 

While I mean no disrespect towards Wirt, I couldn't help but recall his
quote: "On the whole, I'm very impressed with the design of Microsoft's
OS. I am certainly impressed with the amount of documentation available
for Windows, and I am deeply impressed with Microsoft's committment to
backwards compatibility."

 

At any rate, I truly hope the fabled SP1 resolves this issue, but until
then, I guess I have to use my jump drive to unload (1 gig at a time)
the WD drive, so I can restore the pics/docs/etc. to my new 'backwards
compatible' VISTA machine via an older XP laptop I have.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty and
well preserved body, but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming: 

-- WOW!!! What a Ride!!!
