I know nothing of computers but when i boot up the computer it is telling me that the 3rd master harddisk or harddrive can't remember which is status bad backup and replace or press f1 to continue. when i press f1 it just boots up normally and no messages appear telling me that anything is wrong. it is also a intermittent problem as sometimes the computer boots itself up no problem.
Hi, it is just that your computer is telling you that something is possibly wrong with your 3rd hard drive (that is assuming you really have 3 hdds in your pc or your hd is partitioned into 3). By pressing F1 to continue, you are telling the PC to let go of the problem and just boot. If you are not noticing any problem, missing programs, documents or files, then you can probably let it be, if however, the pc at times appears slugish or slow, it maybe that some files are stored in the (probable) defective hd or partition.
I would suggest then that you back up all your important files in a CD or DVD. You may have to get the services of a professional computer service personnel to check all your hard drives or partitions, and replace if necessary, re -partition, re-format and re-install OS and applications.
Another option that you can try is to run chkdsk /f on all your drive (Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt)
when you say third, is that third in the list; as that could be a dvd or cd drive, unless you have 3 hard drives fitted as a raid setup.
if you do have a hard drive problem, check the drives by going to my computer>explore>right click on relevant drive>properties>tools>error checking and let the tool run ;it may ask if you want to run it on next restart, say yes and the drive will be checked.

Maxtor One Touch III USB 2.0 will not work. It is plugged inn and connected and the software comes up on computer saying ''No Maxtor OneTouch is found. Please make sure that your OneTouch is connected and turned on.'' It is, but pressing the button does not seem to turn it on. Any suggestions. It was working until recently and just stopped.
