extenal HD unrecognized....
I turned off my PC and when I turned it back on my 250gb maxtor external HD is not found in windows explorer. PC makes the connection sound when USB is plugged and unplugged. I took a look at device manager and its there. Not even a novice on a PC so i wouldn't know how to check this out so I figured to ask around before a professional takes a bite at it.
running xp p4 2ghz. RICH |

I had that problem with a Maxtor once. After pulling out my hair I solved it by buying a new external case for it. Keep in mind that once you break open the case to the old Maxtor you violate their warranty.

So your Maxtor HDD was on?
I don't boot the PC with USB HDDs powered and connected. Try rebooting w/o Maxtor connected and then hook it up. |
