I haven't heard of any hard drives designed exclusively for WinXP.
Marketing folks tend to like labels like that, though. I'd be surprised if
there were any major problems with UltraDMA hard drives.

I've cc'ed my reply to my user group's discussion list. If there actually
are issues, I'm sure someone there will be able to provide some details.
