Hi guys!

I just want to say I always use this forum to answer any of my computer related obstacles, and thanks to everyone for providing help, because on many occasions it in turned helped me. But this is the first time I have to ask a question because it's been difficult to find the answer to my problem.

I recently purchased a Samsung 840 SSD, and I just want to use it as an external hard drive to store media and other files. I have already initialized the disk, and it runs and works great on my computer which is running on Vista. But when I use my laptop, which is running XP, I get a message saying "Cannot copy. The device is not ready."

Thanks guys for reading! I hope I can fix this situation soon.
