I have a Maxtor EXT drive Onetouch II - 200GB. It was working fine but, suddenly it was not recognized by the USB port. The 2 blue leds starts to blink together and quickly when i turn on the power, and doesn't appear in My Computer.
I tried to send a email to Maxtor Support but they couldn't tell me what's happening. The problem is i live far away US and is very difficult to me send the drive to tech assist. If anyone can help me i would be glad.
