| | Passport Hard Drive for XP compatible with Vista? I recently purchased an external hard drive for my laptop; however, it is for Windows 98SE*, ME, 2000, or XP. My laptop has Windows Vista, will this product still be compatible with Vista since it is a later Windows version? |

| | Re: Passport Hard Drive for XP compatible with Vista? As always, check here before buying: http://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/. You will need to be a lot more precise, such as the model number, before anyone might just know.
