20 Most Recent Maxtor Hard Drive - Page 4 Questions & Answers

Yes it can,

you will need to either install it in a drive enclosure to put it on externally or you will have to install it inside your computer and connect it to the motherboard and power.

Once you're ready to go to the next step, let me know what version of windows you're using and I'll give you a short step by step.

Click start click on computer to open you should see your Maxtor usually C: Right click on it select propeties click tools you should see click check now click start two boxes Automatically fix files and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors place then a tick in one box then select check now start then after its finished return and tick the other box you should not do anything while the chkdsk utility is in progress any input may damage this drive. You might get best results ticking in one box the returning after it has finished then ticking the other box it might take some time depending on the size of your disk but be patient. Hope it helps.

In all honesty Hard drives do not have any passwords. Maybe you need to re-declre ownership of the contents inside the disk to gain access to the files.
Microsoft windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308421
Mac os X: highlight the drive and press +i to "get info" the last patch of settings on the window is permissions add yourself to the permissions of your maxtor drive with read/write/access and apply to all enclosed items. close the window. eject the drive, re-connect and get your files.

Hard drives cannot generally be repaired, I would recommend a replacement. If you have important documents saved to it, try taking it to a local computer repair store and see if they can salvage your files.

If you use one id cable with tow devices at that time you need hdd jumper master & second device slave mode of jumper. http://itexpertinbd.blogspot.com/

Two of the most common causes of I/O (Input/Output) device errors are driver based. Typically, either the device's driver is not enabled or it is out of date.

The driver component has an important function, as it acts as a motor like force that propels USB/plug-and-play hardware into a driving action within the computer.

It is the connecting communicating link signaling the CPU to a desired movement.

And while not all I/O device error solutions are simplistic, as a good starting point, you can try troubleshooting using a few basic steps, and you might not need to attempt anything else.

Access "Control Panel" from the Start menu and then choose "Performance and Maintenance."

Click "System" and then go to the Hardware tab and click on "Device Manager."

Find the device that is registering an error by expanding the nodes of the appropriate category.

If the device has a red "X" on the icon next to its description, the hardware is disabled; Otherwise,

Go to the General tab and click "Enable Device" found under the Device Status section; then press "OK."

(Note: You may have to follow prompts, as indicated through an enabling device wizard.

If you do, continue to click "Next" and follow the prompts until the process has completed.) Test the hardware.

If an error is shown.

Go to the General tab and click "Troubleshoot" found under the Device Status section then press "OK." Follow the prompts to solve the issue.

If an error is still shown

Go to the Driver tab and click "Update Driver." Follow the prompts until the process has completed and then test the hardware.
