I wonder if I can have vista removed and have xp put back on it? Hmmmmmmmmm That would be a blessing.
I don't know about Vista and this but be sure to turn Indexing off for the external drives. Indexing will slow you down because it has to verify the index every time you access the drive.
Going back to XP may be the better choice but I can see this option is not going to be available for too much longer if Microsoft has their way.
