Onetouch III mini windows XP drivers

You can try recovering the drive with SEATOOLS but I think it's toast.

sorry...my guess is ur HD is gone...
once it falls down and cannot be identified as a Hardware by the OS...most probably it's corrupt....

the HDD needs to be loaded / identified by the OS / mounted.... to be able to access it....scan will not work unless it's mounted by the OS....
take it to a tech shop a c if they can fix it...

I have a Maxtor Ext HD myself. Maxtor has a website. Try www.maxtor.com or Google it and you will find their web site. Then search for your HD and do a search for the download of the drivers needed for your HD

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/phillip_293d34ebcf028794

Software downloads are available from the Seagate support site. Here is a link to the download page for Maxtor OneTouch III family. It should provide the latest version of all software that came with the new unit, including "Updated software to run in Windows Vista. Also can be used in case the original software that was preloaded on the drive has been erased."

Good Luck.

I am not sure what model you have but the Maxtor hard drive downloads site has many system drivers, original software and Vista driver updates. The site is located at:

http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/installation_assistance/installation_instructions/external_drives_&_personal_servers/ot3

If that does not work contact Seagate (they own Maxtor) at 1.800.SEAGATE (1.800.732.4283).

Try downloading the most recent one-touch drivers for xp that are available and installing those.

Uninstall the back up software, and choose another or reinstall it.
