Andrew, That Maxtor drive sounds like it has finally died on you and being just an 80 gig drive means its really old. The systems failure to read the drive as your booting up is what's causing the long boot delay as the system will see the controller board of the drive, but your spindle motor on that drive is most likely dead and there fore you will not be able to access or read any of your data stored on that drive. Hope you had backups of important files.
the hard drives will have a date stamped on them if they are within their three year warranty period you should contact the hd manufacturer and see if they will refurbish it for you .
corrupt directory. if you can read the data, remove it. then reformat the drive. if this is not possible, replace the drive. sorry if the fix does not work. mark
