I’m on a Toshiba laptop now, but have a (like an ARVN M-16: fairly new, barely used) HP desktop—Pavilion w/ Windows 7, one of the last at the time—and I can’t get the !&$! thing to copy files from a 1Omega portable hard drive.
Nothing but grief so far with HP. I used to love their business printers, but never again.
I’m on a Toshiba laptop too. I have no complaints.
