Maxtor Basics 1500GB won't open
Last response: in Storage
Hi all! I have a maxtor basics desktop external hard drive 1500gb (serial number 2HBEWCSY).
I defragged it successfuly (JKdefrag) and then shut down the computer and after i restarted PC again; I double clicked the icon on My Computer window and It says
"F:\ Can't access
File or directory corrupt and unreadable"
Hard drive is working (recognizing successfully) normally and i can see its icon on "my computer" and "Device Manager".
I don't want to lost data of all my years that i have worked to. I want to fix it (it may be a MBR or partition issue) before trying to recover my files from it.

On JKdefrag's website under the "Known Problems" they states that:
•Some data on an NTFS partition may become corrupted after you restart a Windows XP-based computer that uses a SATA hard disk drive. This is not a JkDefrag bug but a Microsoft defragmentation API bug. Microsoft have fixed this in XP service pack 3. Also see: Bugfix 941715
This is the problem occurs to me. My scan progress still continues, after it finishes i will let you know what happened. Thank you for your help again.
Note:Although I had installed Windows XP with Service pack 3, its so interesting how it would happened.

I had 500 gb Maxtor that needed to be formatted in order for windows to recognize it. I lost all my music and photos,
but then I found a software called file scavenger and located all my files, you just need another 500 gb hd to load the recovered files to.
If you have success go to spurstalk and make a topic in the geek forum.
thanks!
