I hooked the Maxtor up to my Dell laptop, copied that archive, then hooked it up to my Desktop. I am running XP-Pro on a Pentium with C: drive and 2 DVD drives (D: and E
. The system found it and labelled it as F:
..so far, so good...
Created an archive directory, copied 4 folders, then had to wander off. When restarted, the desktop can no longer find Drive F:, the Maxtor. ..bummer!...
Oh yeah, if I power up with the Maxtor attached to a USB port, the system hangs in POST..double bummer!!...
Have you TOO been thinking about getting an archival portable drive..?
Hi -
When I first bought my 100gb maxtor external hard drive for my desktop dell, I plugged it in, set it up correctly, but couldn't locate it. After researching I found on this site, a link I followed that I think (I can't really remember) I downloaded something wich located this new drive. I just moved my room around, unplugging everything, and now I again, can't locate my drive. I don't want to reformat it b/c I have everything saved on it. Can anyone help me locate it again?
Thanks - Al
