I have a brand new Vista computer, my XP machine died? This new machine does not talk with my Palm m100
The new machine I ended up with has 2 hard drives "C" & "X" with Ghost tending X as a back up.
I also have a Maxtor external DRIVE on hand. Is it possible to put XP on the Mator and USE it, some how, with the new machine, to use my Palm m100?

Reason? $$$$$$$$$$$$ cheep cheep
Thanks
RalphSdoesnt sound like 2 hard drives, but the smaller of the two is a backup partition, which the operating systm sees as another drive but its part of the first one. You can boot xp on the current hard drive right now by making an about 20gb partition using the partition MANAGER. But, it sounds like you will get your Palm to work if you install drivers"So long as your pc is running 32-bit Vista, you can use your m100 with it by downloading and installing the new (and free) PalmHotsyncSetup utility from www.pimlicosoftware.com along with the Palm Desktop 6.2.2 which is available for DOWNLOAD at the palm website.

If your computer is running 64-bit Vista you are probably out of luck..."

I suggest you try doing that and also have a LOOK here (thats where i found the above answer)....

hope this helps!XP will not run from an external without a crowbar and about 4 days of tinkering...
This is by design.
