    Thanks for your help...the drive does sound like its spinning then it stops. I haven't tried connecting it to another computer but i will tonight. It is under warranty but i have information I need off the drive and there isn't a way of connecting other than usb. Not sure how to reinstall the usb drivers for the ones that came with my computer???

    Thanks.

    I have the Maxtor Personal STrage 3200 and sometimes the drive comes on and it appears on My Computer, and I can hear it spinning. Then it will mysteriously turn off, or fail to restart and I hear nothing spinning andit does not appear in My Computer. Once I noticed that the driver had been deleted so I reinstalled it and it worked. But the next day when I turned on the computer, it was "dead" again. Thoughts? Suggestions?

    I already uninstalled the driver, and go to Add Hardware wizard. It is detected, but in the end process it says something like..."hardware is not installed propertly. Device might not be used or something..."

    Please help

Hi I understand your problem, You said that you checked in device manger,it didn't started. Did you checked whether is it detected BIOS. If its not try connecting the IDE cable for the CD Drive,if you found the drive detected in My Computer. Then there is no issues with the Hard Drive,something needs to be checked in Motherboard port. You can contact your computer manufacture to get replacement of motherboard...

When you plug in the drive does it sound like its spinning? Did you uninstall the usb drivers and reinstall the usb drivers? Is there another way of connecting the drive without using usb? Is the drive under warrenty? Have you tried connecting it to another computer? There could be a number of reasons its not turning on. Need to figure out the answers to my questions first to narrow down what it could be.

The Maxtor 3200 external HD is not recognized by my computer. In Device Manager it says not drive available for it. I have been unable to find a driver to download and wondered if you recommended a site...
Have you tried looking in 'MY COMPUTER' and look at the mass storage devices ie. C drive, D drive, F drive, H drive.......
Explore/Expand these drives to see what is on them. If you know what is already on this drive then you should see the data you are after and you will have discovered the drive.

With the drive connected and if you are running USB2 You should see this drive disapear from the list as you disconnect it.

I have 3 maxtor 3200 storage units. A few days ago my computer would not start up so after unpluging the 3200 and everything else I got the computer to work again. Plugging in the mouse,keyboard,zip drive...
could be a software issue could be that the when you unpluged them you didnt unmount the drives from the system and now windows is not finding them for this reason the best way to "try" to fix this issue is to plug them in one at a time go into device manager and uninstall them from the computer then turn the computer off unplug the drive turn the computer back on without the unit pluged in turn the computer off again plug the unit in restart the computer this will work on 75% of the drives that can't be seen

My Maxtor 3200 ext. drive which I had for one year now (no pbs.) not being recognized by my system and I see a Code 10 error in the Device Manager.
first you can use your troubleshooter in your device manager to find out what that code 10 error is or you can go to the maxtor website in the support or troubleshoot section and tell them your code 10 error,it might be a driver needs to be updated.

Check the manufacturers website, as all drives no matter what should come with drivers of some sort. this is the most likely cause for what is wrong.

Maxtor personal storage 3200 200 GB hard-drive does not show up in my computer
The volume partition may be failing. So your machine can see the drive but you still cannot read or write to it. I would open it and extract the drive, to eliminate whether the drive and / or enclosure is at fault.

Not detected by My Computer
Go into Control Panel go into 'Administrative Tools', double click 'Computer Management' click on 'Disk Management'. Do you see the hard drive?? Right click on the drive and select 'Format'. If this didn't help, write back and we'll find another way.
