What do you mean by factory settings. From the factory, the drive came just formatted with no data on it. If you want that then format the drive in WIndows. My Computer->Select the drive that is Maxtor, right click it and in the box that opens format is one of the options. Select and follow instructions.

My Maxtor 1000GB harddrive has stoped working. PN:9NZ2D8-500. SN:2HBECHWY. It connects by a USB and powed by a transformer that was supplied by Maxtor. All of the parts are about two years old, brough

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.

How to restore my D620 to factory settings without a CD?

Hello there!

Well its impossible to restore any of todays laptops without their factory os dvd/cd. You could setup new operative system and make your laptop simmilar to what it was on factory settings, or you can search dell to send you that same cd/dvd on your post mail to your house.

I suggest you read http://www.dell.com/ and contact them in order to solve your problem. Hope i helped you! =)

Sincerely

Maxtor basics desktop storage 1000gb wont start up but has power

im sorry, but it sounds like a hardware problem. theirs not many options.
you may either void your warranty by opening it up and hoping you can use the hard drive in another case (hope its not the hard drive)
or you can return it under the warranty. That is a bummer.

The terrabyte hard drives havent been completley worked out yet. i have heard of a bunch of problems with them failing because of how they are made. The scary part is i dont think they fixed all the problems with the 1tb drives and now they are moving onto 2 tb's!?!?!?

Maxtor OneTouch II 300Gb can't recover data after a system restore

Hi,

I had the same problem a few weeks ago.

The way I solved my problem was to make sure when I restored Windows to the default settings that I did it up to the same support packs and hot fixes then when backing up the system with the Maxtor HD. It took me many days to figure this out... was written it the Maxtor HD documentation and it works fine.

Hope this helps.
