Can't see files on a Maxor IDE drive, wont boot from it and if I make it a slave or cable select it still just sees it in device manager. Computer management wont see it and when I shut it off I get a message that I must 1st format the drive.
I used to have one! It seems to have disappeared, and I run diagnostics, and shows that the driver is messed up. I uninstall old driver, replug the external Maxtor HD back in, it shows that it installed a new driver, and I have to reboot. I do that, and still no HD. This is what I get, any help would be awesome, I have tons of shows I taped on the drive!
Can anybody point me in the right direction as to where I can find a Maxtor Drive Diagnostic tool as I seem to be getting a lot of errors on my drive, Have tried Google but got lost in the thousands of links.
My Maxtor One Touch 2 USB drive worked fine with XP and Vista 32 bit but Windows 7 does not see it in My Computer. I can'r find a new driver on the Maxtor site even though MS says to go there. Any ideas?
I have a maxtor One Touch 111mini back-up device that contains all my xp files. I'm converting to windows 7 but cannot load the maxtor programmes onto windows 7.
My problem is that it My Maxtor ext 500g Drive worked fine with Vista but as soon as I Upgraded to Win 7 it doesn't. It is recognized and I can even open it but after about 10secs I get an error that "Win Explorer has stopped working, looking for a solution" the solution never comes and everything closes to a blank desktop.
I have a Maxtor One Touch 4+ 500GB External Hard Drive. I have been running Windows XP with it for years with no problems.I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and the Windows 7 won't even recognise my Maxtor External HD.
I recently got a new hard drive that is now windows 7, before I had windows XP. I only just transferred the usb cable and now every time i tried to back up or save a file to the Maxtor one touch 4 plus, it gave a warning window that said it couldn't perform the function because the disk was damaged or corrupted. I have also checked the drive for any errors by scanning it for any problems but nothing has come up. I just now uninstalled the driver in case I could reinstall it but that is not working because its not recognizing that it was uninstalled. Please help me find another software for this. I also looked online for the software and the Seagate company offers this software for free however, it is only compatible with the Mac OS X systems and not for any windows systems.
I have windows 7 , and i have creative zen, and maxtor basics desktop 500gb. But the problem is. my computer doesnt recognize any of this hardware: i dont know what is going on? what can i do? Ive got dell studio 1537.
I just got a Dell server from a friend and want to install Windows 2008 Server on it.The thing is when I start installing it, when I have to decide the location I don't see any hard drive.I guess it's a problem of sata drviers, but I don't find any on the web... I forgot to mention that there is a Raid controller (I don't know if this can make any difference...)
Will the Maxtor OneTouch work with Windows 7. I can't get my Dell Laptop to get files. It shows under devices and working properly, but nothing happens. I can't open device or files.
I have a Dell Vostro 3450 and want to connect to a Maxtor external hard drive with a 1394 firewire connection. What kind of adapter should I be looking for?
