Cannot open the hard drive
Product NexStar 3:
Innitialy I openned the 3.5 Maxtor IDE 18.6 Gigabytes with no problem, I have made a special file to copy information from my Dell 2650, I have copied about 200 Mb with no problem but suddenly stopped giving a message, that a file will not be copied because a wrong name. After this I cannot open the hard drive,I wonder if you can help me because in My PC the hard drive appears only with the letter "E:" with no details, when I right click over the "E:", asks for permission to format the hard drive and I dont want to do that because I have valuable info inside.
I have tried changing th hard drive jumpers from "master" to "slave" with the same results.
Please tell me what to do and how can prevent future problems like this.
Best Regards,
Arturo Blanco
GuruThere is a posissility that your actual hard drive is faulty!
Utilities here can help you determine that!

try the seatools for windows, because you have an external hard drive!
If the test comes back ok then it could be that you need to update your operating system!
Also, what file system is the hard drive formatted with, cause the FAT32 isn't as reliable as the NTFS file system, so you might wanna change it to NTFS if its not already!( At the command prompt type convert e: /fs:NTFS and press enter)
lemme know how it turns out
good luck
