You need to install drivers if there is any

    Ginko Apr 06, 2008

    Sorry, you do not need any driver for your Maxtor in windows.
    Try first unplugging both maxtor adaptor and computer power cable from power. Also unplug the maxtor from computer usb.
    Connect all back after five minutes and restart.

    The above will fix problem with usb.

    If it does not work it is likely that the disk is faulty or the caddy adapter is faulty or with HDD cable not well connected.
    Open Maxtor caddy and check connections to HDD

Maxtor Personal Storage 3200, after years of use my Vista machine now tells me that the USB Device isnt recognised.
However last month I found that the Maxtor is no longer recognisable to my machine. Reading through related postings on other sites it appears that Vista updates from Microsoft may be the reason why this functionality has suddenly ceased. I presume the security updates in particular may have meant that the Maxtor 3200 is also considered a potential threat. The question is who will take responsibility for resolving this issue of Maxtor 3200 users no longer being able to access their back up files via their Vista based machines. Personally I believe the onus is with Microsoft

hope this helps

Maxtor 200 gb external will not show up in my computer after numerous installs
For Vista you don't need any driver for this, it should recognize and install automatically.
Did you check the device manager to see if the disk is recognized in the device list?

Next step is to check the Disk Manager (right-click My Computer, select Manage and then select disk management), and see if the disk already has a partition and has been formatted. If not, then it will not show up in "My Computer" with a drive letter yet.

Some details on external hard disk troubleshooting might also help.

Maxtor 3200 usb hard drive with windows vista home premium
Hey guys I had the same problem... All the drivers for the device are inside the harddrive. Maxtor doesn't have any because you don't need any. What they've neglected to let any of us know is the power supply provided with the unit isn't powerful enough to run it. Replace the original power supply with another one and this will solve the problem. I replaced mine with an old laptops power supply, the fit was alittle tight but believe me it works.

Maxtor and vista
Try some other USB device (memory-stick, printer, camera) in the USB slot in the Vista computer, just to "prove" that Vista will recognize _any_ USB device connected to that slot.

Maxtor 3200 /160gb
According to this, the device only supports Windows 2000, XP Pro and XP Home (and presumably, Vista as well).
