Maxtor One Touch 4 plus 1 terabyte external hard drive would need a 12 volt 2 amp power adapter with a positive inside tip.
That is if yours is the same model.

Best is to take it to the shop you bought it from. they will replace it. ask them to transfer the data to the new one. the chances are they might do it.
SOURCE: Restore factory settings on maxtor basics external storage 1000gb
What do you mean by factory settings. From the factory, the drive came just formatted with no data on it. If you want that then format the drive in WIndows. My Computer->Select the drive that is Maxtor, right click it and in the box that opens format is one of the options. Select and follow instructions.

Alot of times with the drive letter is not assigned this means that another device is already assigned to the drive letter that the drive wants to take.
The below link will take you through changing your drive letter on your Maxtor drive.

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect your hard drive
Test the leads that attach to your ((hard drive from the motherboard)) or replace all the leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions + IDE,SATA and the ones that attach from your ((motherboard to hard drive))
make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error
hope this helps
