Will my Iomega® product work with Windows® XP?
Document # 11113.html

Windows® XP includes the drivers needed to recognize your Iomega® drive. The native drivers included in Windows XP should assign your drive a letter in My Computer. If your Iomega drive is not being assigned a drive letter in My Computer, please refer to the following document for additional help:

You must use IomegaWare™ version 3.1 or higher in Windows XP for Iomega-specific features, such as disk protection. The current version of IomegaWare is available from our Software Download site at http://www.iomega.com/software/

Important: Using prior versions of IomegaWare in Windows XP may cause your computer to blue screen or be unstable.

Note: You may receive the error message "Setup found hardware or software on your computer that might not work with Windows XP" when upgrading from another operating system to Windows XP. If you are receiving this error during an upgrade, please go to http://www.iomega.com/support/documents/11161.html
