Someone else will have to answer, but I can tell you it's a great drive and well worth what you pay for it. It's light and works perfectly. I'm not savvy about how to burn.

Yes it should work for you I read the description and XP operating system is listed for this burner to work as long as you have a usb connection on your computer you will be fine.

I don't know... I have a newer pc now and no longer use it. it has been awhile since I purchased it... was running under window 98 or xp... don't remember. check the specs for this item it should be indicated... else contact company with tech question. it did work just fine though... a bit flimsy but was okay since I did not have a dvd drive at that time.

According to the instructions with the disc, it will wipe all Windows OS, including XP. I did two passes on Windows 7 and my HD was wiped clean. The cost is worth it.

XP with SP3 should support up to 2.2TB so in theory it should work. I have not tested this on XP but it works on Win 7/8 and Mac OSX systems. For XP systems, my recommendation would be to ensure you have SP3 installed prior to attempting to connect the drive.

I had 500 GB of pictures and movies in an old computer and I just took out the hard drives and install them in this unit. It worked. No loss of speed or quality and windows recognizes both hard drives.

It works for me on a Toshiba notebook running Windows 7. It's handy for recovering some of those old documents off 3.5 floppies.

I'm looking at the instructions and mine is good for OS's that are Windows 98se,me,2000, and vista.I f that is the case then it might work. make sure its going to the PC with out the OS. You also might try to connect-somehow- to a CD drive and the PC without the OS and try to run the recovery disk..there website is www.thetornado.com/site/support.shtml....hope it works bob

Windows ME is really old and obsolete. It most likely doesn't support the drivers. If you're feeling lucky go give it a try. I would say Windows XP is the oldest that will work though

I used it on an old XP machine, but Win 8 shouldn't be a problem as it has even more drivers.

Great news! I threw my PC (Windows) based computers in the garbage years ago. Thanks for timely response.

I would assume so. It has been a while since I used it, but I believe I was able to retrieve both documents and photos from old floppys.

Yes, but may want to get a spare hard drive with the win xp os on it, that was the issue i had when i got mine. it was a bit challenging in explaining to the seller what part was damaged, ended up going with another seller to fix the problem twice. Good luck.

This depends on what kind of file format the 'Old-old' digital camera stored the pictures in. If it is a camera newer than 2001, then it should work, but I can't say that it will work 100%. All of my pictures are in a digital format called jpeg and these all work great especially with this digital picture frame.

No Or it would not on mine nor my newer Windows XP machine I bought after the one I used it on crashed. I kept getting the message it was already loaded on both machines I tried it , but it wasn't. Too bad because it was the best of this type I have found and very user friendly

I haven't had any issues. I have the burner on a system with win 8.1 and imgburn.

No I kept getting the message that it was already loaded and it would not load. I had been using it on XP before that. I contacted the company and they blew me off too. Too bad because it was the best I had found for this use

I have an older pc with a tower. It contains a slot to put the SD card from your camera. After I insert the SD card all of my photos will transfer to the computer via Windows Photo Gallery. The only problem with this is it will import every photo again unless you delete what you don't want from your camera first. It's worth the trouble because I have never had a camera that takes such great photos.
