Lynn:

My experience with the Maxtor One Touch has been positive.  I have used it
with both XP Pro and XP Home.  Setup was flawless and easy.  I use it to
store digital images and music, the latter being downloaded from P2P sites.

The computer "sees" the drive and there are simply no issues.  I
subsequently bought an outboard case with power supply which can be
outfitted with any hard drive you choose for a significant saving.  I am
using a USB 2 connection in both cases and I a sold on the concept.
