The whole point of removing it was because it didn't always do what was intended if you forced it.
If everything is right, it will work on either version.
If not, say you have an existing windows type partition on that drive, then it was hit and miss and sometimes windows would let you think it was writing to the disk and not write at all.
I know the newest version will work, I've used it, but you have to remove any windows partitions from the drive and possibly reboot before you can make an RDB disk out of it.
For existing RDB disks, it's a lot more likely that some configuration setting is wrong.
