CMD command
Using XP Sp3 I don't use the CMD that much, mainly when I use ipconfig. When I do, the text extends across past the window. There is no horizontal scroll bar to see past that.

Formatting External drive
I have a Western Digital 1.0 TB drive WD10EALS that I'm attempting to install as an external drive through a USB port. When plugged in, Windows XP said it found it and installed it.
