Maxtor One Touch II not working

I have had this extermal hard drive for less than a year. I store all of my photos on this hard drive. I have used it with a Mac G4. It has always worked great until now. All of a sudden when I plug it in, it is not showing on my desktop. The light on the hard drive shows. I have tried plugging it into other outlets. I have tried using other computers. I have tried using other firewire cords, and usb cords. Nothing works. I hope someone can help, as I need photos from this hard drive for a funeral THIS WEEK! HELP!

Tried pushing the reset pin, but no luck. The hard drive ticks.

I know it's too late but, did you try resetting the hard drive. Insert a pin through the little hole on the back of the drive.

Try to get your hands on some data recovery software like Easy Recovery Pro.
Initially you can try using SEATOOLS to see if that can help.

Maxtor One Touch II - installation Software

I have a disk that worked for me and I am running windows xp. I also have the website address that is supposed to have the 98 drivers which could work perhaps. http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=Maxtor_OneTouch_Drive_USB/Win98SE_Driver&vgnextoid=b07d8b9c4a8ff010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD

Guess you could try them first and if that doesnt work I could perhaps make a backup of the disk/package/mail/ worth anything?

Leave it on or turn it off?

Personally I always leave them on. I seem to have had less problems that way.

You should still back up the really important stuff to something ie DVD etc.

It's not IF a HD will fail its WHEN.

I'm still using a 5YR old Lacie drive...

just today i had a maxtor TB drive go bad, and since i think it has two drives inside it i am very worried that i will not be able to do the same thing.

Old Maxtor/New Maxtor

If files you are trying to restore are encrypted you will have to use same software to retrieve them.. If not, any file in the external hard drive should be viewable with your windows explorer.

And U do not need drivers for external hard drives. They just plug into your usb port and work with modern OS after the unit is recognized.
