Hi , it seems the 'error code that you are recieving, is due to a 'connection in the {USB}.
Try "Updating the Driver / Software!"
"Go to this "Website!"
Fill-in necessary information.
ie: Model #, Brand, and or Operating System...

"Select the [Drivers] you need from the "List."

View: OneTouch III EMC Vista Update:

View: OneTouch III USB

Read below:

---> "Updates software to run in Windows Vista/XP/2000"

"Download the Drivers!"

!Important: "Take a 'moment to rate the help', so I can get 'credit' for the work.

You can download the backup software from Maxtor's site:

you can recover deleted files from hard drive with data recovery software like Asoftech Data Recovery. Follow this video for steps to do hard drive data recovery.

Software downloads are available from the Seagate support site. Here is a link to the download page for Maxtor OneTouch III family. It should provide the latest version of all software that came with the new unit, including "Updated software to run in Windows Vista. Also can be used in case the original software that was preloaded on the drive has been erased."

Hope it helps!

Hey xmartico,

If your recent update from Windows XP to Windows Vista has been the only major change to your computer system since you could access your Maxtor One Touch III last, you may simply need to reinstall the Maxtor software to resolve the problem.

Information provided by the manufacturer has suggested that if no password was ever set, the hard drive should work with Vista immediately with no additional work required. If you had chosen a password however, you may need to reinstall the software and reboot every time you disconnect/shut down the external drive, or disable your user account control (UAC). Please keep in mind though that disabling UAC is strongly discouraged, as it may open your computer to attacks by various malware programs including viruses and spyware.

If you're still not quite sure how to proceed, I would strongly recommend contacting Maxtor directly for further assistance.

Hope this helps you out.

Sincerely,
Aaron

Good Luck.

Live, Love, Laugh.

I am not sure what model you have but the Maxtor hard drive downloads site has many system drivers, original software and Vista driver updates. The site is located at:

http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/installation_assistance/installation_instructions/external_drives_&_personal_servers/ot3

If that does not work contact Seagate (they own Maxtor) at 1.800.SEAGATE (1.800.732.4283).

Just called Seagate....they said you can download and use the One Touch 4 lite software and it will work perfectly... see link below:

http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=ot4-lite&vgnextoid=e621783de3444110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD

If you look at the site carefully you will see a small asterisk near the bottom that says * Windows2000/XP compatible. This seems to apply to several of the available downloads.
