SOURCE: Maxtor External Hard drive not compatible with Mac
I would check Maxtors website to see if there is compatibility issue using that particular drive on a Mac.

You'll need backup software. This link will take you to an open source website where you can download Cobian Version 9.0 at no cost.
www.sourceforge.net/projects/cobianbackup
If, on the other hand, you want to "ghost" the entire drive, you'll need imaging software that is available also at no cost from the following website:
www.drive-image-backup.com/image-for-windows.htm?referrer=google&type=GoogleAdWordsContent
One note of caution about "ghosting" the entire drive. If you get a virus/spyware/trojan/worm, etc. The image you put on your hard drive will also be infected and when you restore the image the bad stuff will also be restored.

SOURCE: Can't detect an external Hard drive (Maxtor 1TB)
go to your admin tools and go to the device manager and look into the storage section and if you "see" your 1TB maxtor drive right click and make sure its active/enabled (sorry if my terminology is off im going of memory) i bought one and had some issues getting my PC's to recognize it till i did that and viola it worked fine (after a 3 hour format) but i thought i had one of the wonderous D.O.A HD's from maxtor (lots of bad reviews out ther right now)

If the hard drive cannot be detected as an external hard drive and the hard drive makes a clicking sound, then the hard drive is faulty and cannot be fixed. When a hard drive is dropped, this usually damages the hard disk, especially if it was plugged in and was running at the time.
Sorry to tell you, but you need a new hard drive and the data on the hard drive is lost.

the hard disk interface could be broken, open the hard disk case and use it as an internal hard disk as a slave in a computer to save your data
