will this drive work with vista operating system?

It's just a hard drive. It'll work just fine. Hitachi is okay but I'd recommend Western Digital or Seagate.

some of the hitachi drives said they worked with vista. this one didnt have that in the ad. and the product info from hitachi didnt mention what os they were ccompatible with, thats why i wondered. offered a good deal on one, so i didnt know if it made a difference that i am using vista?

Hard drives only have to be compatible with your motherboard and such but saying it's compatible with vista is just a marketing gimmick to get more money because they add a little sticker on the box.
 
i thought i read something about


a SATA 3.0 GB/s drive, the 7K1000 features the ease of installation that characterizes modern hard drives. However, there is one bad thing worth noting about Hitachi’s latest hard drive: the world’s biggest hard drive does not include instructions on how to install the drive into the world’s newest version of Windows. Supporting Vista is still a bit of a black art, but I’m still surprised, given the hype surrounding this drive, that Hitachi’s engineers did not develop a Vista-compatible version of their disk management utility, or just as importantly, include installation instructions for Vista on their website. Forcing a customer to find information on a competitor’s website probably isn’t a public relations move Hitachi wants to make. In case you’re wondering, by the way, the key is to use the Windows Computer Management utility – Vista detects the drive automatically, but won’t format unless you explicitly tell it to.



didnt know if that was of any significance?
