I have an external 1TB Maxtor Basics. Normally, if you power it on and do not plug it in to a computer, the drive will start up and then immediately spin down. It will also spin down when plugged in to a computer after a period of inactivity.
Today, whether it is plugged in or not to a computer, it immediately spins down, then immediately spins up, then down, then up, etc. and my computer acts as if nothing is plugged in. Nothing in Explorer or Device Manager. Is there anything I can try to get it to work or is it definitely gone? (Anything important is backed up)
