Hi all -

A friend has just bought an external hard drive for his XP machine, which is 
formatted NTFS, and when he tries to install it, he gets the message: 

The software you are installing for this hardware USB Mass Storage Device has 
not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Window XP. 
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the 
correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft 
strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contct the hardware 
vendor for softwear that has passed Windows Logo testing.
    
Is this an issue, or is it still ok to install?

Andy
