Hello,
So I installed my Maxtor PS 3200 external drive this afternoon without any problem--you basically just plug in the USB and XP recognizes instantly. I copied about 7 GB worth of data (I'm backing up in advance of a drive reformat). I then stopped backing up for awhile to attend to other stuff then had to restart the computer for a different reason.
Upon restarting, the PS3200 is now no longer visible anywhere--I went to add hardware, I've plugged and replugged everything, it's just not there. The light on the drive is on so I think the hardware is fine, but...I have no idea how this could have happened.
Does anyone have any clues??
Any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
