Need some advice on how to install a Seagate Barracuda ST3800012ACE hard drive from a Tivo / DVRecorder into a reg Windows XP PC system.

Is there any special jumper settings req, or will it fdisk and format like any other hard drive.....?

Someone mentioned on the web that the 1 pin is in reverse order???

Does any one have any info on this drive..

Thanks, for any help

Connect it up as normal and format it through My Computer. Or if it doesn't show up in My Computer, go through Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management.

I see no reason why it shouldn't work in a computer. If you look at the labels and see instructions on using FDisk and what not, it'll be fine.
