I have a maxtor one touch 3 mini USB edition 160gb drive bought about two years ago. This drive was working fine till about a couple of months back when the USB cable got fried. I replaced the cable which resolved the problem. After a couple of months, suddenly the drive is not being detected by the computer as an external hard drive. Device manager recognizes a USB mass storage device but when i try to use My Computer to read the drive, it just hangs. The system begins responding immediately if i disconnect the drive. I downloaded the system software from the seagate website and installed it to no avail.
I run a DELL Vista(x64) Home Premium operating system entirely up to date. Please help as I have some important data stored on the drive!
