Just a quick thought for you,but most external HDs come in the older Fat32 format to allow interoperability. The newer NTFS format, will allow Win XP users to see the disk and I think, Win 2K as well. If you plan to use the HD with Win 98/ME etc. then make sure that the disk is formatted accordingly, ie not NTFS.

PS You can get a Firewire/USB combo drive so that other machines can access it. You might have to buy another lead though.
