I have the same model Gateway MA3(MX6429) and this one has ATA/IDE 2.5" 4200rpm Hitachi Travelstar.
Can I use exFat format for HDD to be seen by system?
It's a Microsoft file system for USB flash drives, so Windows XP should see it.
I got it working all I used was an external sata/pata controller and used windows disk management to wipe out the drive. It was new again, then I put it right back up in there and got to work.
