If you right, you could use external powered USB hub. I suspect that problem is hard drive. Maybe not drive itself but controller insid? enclosure. If you feel comfortable to remove just hard drive and check it using another enclosure or hard drive dock station, you will narrow what causes the problem
well, 2 options, your hard drive is not working in that case, just get a internal hard drive which is serial and open the case for the maxtor and plug the drive inside the case. its cheaper to buy the inter hard drive, then to replace the external hard drive.
with it connected open applications and select utilities and then go to disk utility, open that and when it is loaded the maxtor should be in the list, you need to erase it, this will install the apple operating info (it should read some sort of f.a.t. to start with) you will loose all of the information on it
go to my computer proeprty then uninstall usb driver and then right clik any driver then clik on scan for hardware then it searches usb and install automatically.
Hi Lois, If your Maxtor appears in Disk Utility but the disk volume is not displayed, it's possible that the partition on the disk has been deleted for some reason. If that's the case, you will have to use a disk partitioning utility to create a new partition and then format the hard drive. Best wishes, Graemevm
will you please give me your detail machine configuration
