If you are just using it as an external drive, Fedora should see the drive automatically, no driver should be necessary. If it can not, there is probably a different issue.

You may need to format the drive if order to mount it.

If it is already formatted as NTFS, it will be read-only to Linux. If formatted at FAT32, Linux should be able to read-write it as well as Windows.

fdisk -l: to get info on all disks (formatted or not) connected to the box. You should be able to figure out which disk is which.

If you will be using this disk exclusively with Linux, you will probably want to consider formatting it with a native Linux file-system.

Detecting but unable to perform any action..
if you have a linux distribution at all (eg Ubuntu, Fedora) or download a linux distro and use a live version (which is smaller than full version and can be ran off a usb so switch your machine to boot to usb once distro is on there) then you should be able to see the hard drive on a linux distro all fine with all files still on there. Also another option is get a virtual box program and open linux from that and access your files in that virtual distro

Can't open Maxtor one touch 4 mini
If the external hard disks is plugged to a USB port and is not detected anymore, try uninstalling the USB Root Hub devices in the device manager. They will automatically be reinstalled on reboot and that can help fix detection issues.

But did you look in the Disk Management module of Windows to see if the disk is there? Right-click My Computer and select Manage.

It is your driver related issue.
Check your operatign ssytem version is winxp sp2 ?
SP2 is perfact for usb 2.0
Also you can try to uninstall all usb driver and install inf update utility it is comes with motherbord disk.
You can uninstall usb drivers from computer with device manager .

External Hardisk Maxtor 4 One Touch not detected
Have you tried different USB cables with the drive? If the drive is self powered (no ext power supply) which I think that one is, then it needs a really good cable to draw the 5 volts from the USB port. If you have tried a known working cable, then it could be the USB controller or the disk itself. You can buy the USB box on eBay really cheap and move the drive over.
