I replace my hard drives after 2 or 3 years. Yours seems to have quit early, possibly the transformer is not working. If your external drive lights up, the electronics could be bad. At any rate, the bad news is it sounds like time for a new drive. I hope you have a backup of the contents.

You can find instructions for replacing the belt at the following link.

can you tell me what was the cause of your computer to get to this stage that you are looking to recover the machine. If this computer was to come into me with this problem i would be taking out the harddrive and doing some virus scans, and also see if it still reading the files to get them saved. let me know how you get on.

this could be do to a bad connection to the boot device such as the harddrive.

I would try to boot from the cd rom using the OS disk.

well, usually you can put your harddrive and cd-rw in fujitsu computers
Fujitsu has only IDE nor SATA
If your harddrive is on IDE then you have no problem using pn fujitsu computer

Seagate troubleshooting Error Code 10, states that drive has failed. (Seagate bought out Maxtor)

Before you resign yourself to everything is lost on this harddrive, how about trying one more thing?

How about putting the harddrive inside in a new external enclosure, and see if it works? I suggest that perhaps the external enclosure it's in, is bad.
The harddrive inside is a 3.5 inch harddrive. Same width as used by a desktop computer. It is a Sata harddrive.

Here's an example of a 3.5 inch Sata, external enclosure,

Just pop the external enclosure open that holds it now, take it out, and install it into an external enclosure like the example above. Plug in the USB cable.

Don't know if this applies to your particular Maxtor Personal Storage 3200, but when I went to search for the type of harddrive it uses just now, I ran into thsi, and thought I would pass it along. http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/personal_storage/ps3200-sw)

If you have access to another machine you can create a disk to fix the ntldr issue. Please see the following website. http://www.tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm

The flash disk could be faulty, especially when it draws too much power, and this will cause the USB ports to shut down and the other USB devices won't work until the faulty device is removed.
