20 Most Recent Maxtor DiamondMax 60 (33073U4) 30.7 GB Hard Drive Questions & Answers

Howdy,

First "easy" one I've had in hours....

Just pull the J50 pin out of the jumper block and PRESTO it'll be a slave the OFF position literally reffers to having the J50 pin off of the hard drive. Just a note though, I highly recommend using a peice of scotch tape to affix the pin to a nearby surface cause there a real pain to find if and when you need em again.

Hi there,

In windows right click on my computer icon/manage/disk management. You should see that drive in there. all you have to do is right click on it and format it and your done. Now Windows will see.
but make sure that you lost all the data from that HDD.

Post back to me if you need more help.
Good Luck!!

Thanks

On the back of the hdd you will see a row of little pins in groups of 2 vertically. It will be marked either right above the pins or on the top of the hdd above the pins, ma, sl, cs. The setting for slave is sl. Put the plastic jumper cap on those 2 pins & it is set for slave. Hope this helps & please remember to rate my answer. Thanks.

You may have damaged the heads in the drive

You can try it on another computer but I expect you will need data recovery help. I can suggest http://FreeDataRecovery.us

Take a look at this pdf:eshop.macsales.com/Tech/manuals/idehdsettings/Maxtor72.pdfSo If this is layout " : : : . : " then...slave ----------- " : : : . : " master -------- " [:]: : . : "cable select -- " :[:]: . : "

Do you have the jumpers set correctly for your setup? Check it against the diagrams on this pdf:http://eshop.macsales.com/Tech/manuals/idehdsettings/Maxtor72.pdf

I assume it is a USB connection? Does it also have a power adaptor or a USB dongle that has 2 USB connectors? If you cannot get it to power up, the only other option to retrieve your data is to take the HD out of the case and connect it to a PC or laptop using a SSD or SATA to USB adapter and see if you can get the PC to recognize it.

I doubt they are still available but usually one can be found on the maxtor web site, (many years ago).
