    NO PC told no OS told. , windows?, if yes what windows is it? XP or older?
    why post at all not telling the most key facts. OS.+ and drive model.#

    Plus 9 model is 6Y120P0 (or nnnnnLO) PATA drive, but the 6Y120M0 model is SATA. not told by you model.#

    2003, 18 years old, never have I seen a drive this OLD work at all. the data sheet says 5 year life span.
    this drive is what we call the SATA transitional drive.


    first off this is HDD, a hard disks drive,
    and maxtor is NOW SEAGATE.com
    ok.
    and this is not a SATA drive it is a ATE

    as rule you do not need a driver for any windows system and any hdd made, 2001 to now.


    it is plug and play but no PC told or what the drive is plugged in to like:

    PC
    Camcorders pro.
    DVR
    NVR
    huge business printers inside.
    CCTV systems old.
    and more lots more things,, HDD are used.... not one I can guess.


    all version of if are here, (spec)
    https://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/maxt...


    if a PATA drive, (see 40 pins it is) it only works in relic PCs pre 2001,

    the jumpers need to be set (non on SATA serial drive)
    https://www.seagate.com/support/kb/diamo...


    if have PATA PC and a CD rom drive, see PATA drive to master and CD to slave.
    20years ago we that and older, long long ago.... if PATA.

    Pata is parallel 40 drive. ATA
    SATA is serial, 7 pin data. of which 3 are ground.


    they sold that drive in 4 versions, of 6Y120xx (xx is version)
    good luck posting lacking key facts.

    why not ask these quesitons
    is the drive still good, answer NO, all tests will fail. 18 year old drives, sorry....
    will it work in a new PC ,no, not if drive is PATA version told above. PATA slots are GONE NOW.
    will i need a driver, well for what OS,? no PC told,
    if this is a pC, the PC is super old and has VIA, or Nforce(AMD) inside windows 10 does not support relic chip sets on motherboard 20 years old or older than 2007

    if is the sata version and the OS is new, the hdd needs not driver at all. called PLUG AND PLAY..
    XP up. XP is 2001 OS, so.... there you go, and XP is virus magnet.

    THIS?

    Larry Ng Jun 24, 2021

    THIS ONLY RUNS IN PATA OLD PC'S WITH A 40 PIN PATA , JACK MALE ON THE MOTHERBOARD.
    no model told by you. this is 1 of 4 models.

  • Anonymous Jun 24, 2021

    sorry the PCs that ran this drive do not run windows 10 ,period. 2003. NO PC told at all, nor model drive.

    Anon do not search the internet for driver for that.
    I promise you will get infected with a nasty virus....
    do not do that, or bad happens or heck for fun contact SEAGATE.com ask the owner this.

    NO PC told no model drive told, no OS told, fail. no joy.

    only drivers from MS or Seagate,

    the key driver is not the silly drive
    but the PCs motherboard ATA chip set, those are the ones you need to work first.

    many chips sets old for PATA or SATA are not supported at all now, for newer OS.
    even intel.com drop dead support for RST. (old versions)

    no PC told there can be no joy, nor if the HDD is 40pin or 7pins, count them,
    PATA is 40+4 (data + power)
    SATA is 7_15 (data + power)

    even 12 feet away I can see a drive and tell that. can you>?

  • Anonymous Jun 24, 2021

    the drive is rated only for 5 years life.
    why no just ask how to test it first. ? no drive told yet. (I have one here, kept as a joke, and still works, PATA)
    it has PATA to SATA converter on the rear. just to teach others it can do that.

Hi,I've an external case (diamondmax 11 Model:6H500F0)--500GB SATA 3.0GB HDD. And I wanna to activate it,but I Dont have the Installation CD,plz I need your help URGENTLY. (I've an widows XP for my...

Maxtor DiamondMax 11 is a SATA Hardisk and you need SATA External Case. After adding the Harddisk, all you have to do is connect it to the system via the cable of the external case. There is no need for additional drivers/ CD as all the external harddisks are 'plug and play'and the Operating System detects them automatically.

Hope it helps! Good Luck!

Ultra ata 133 ide controller........i installed this on a brand new gigabyte MB with windows 7..........Device manager knows its there but with a problem. I cannot locate drivers for this device...

if u cant locate the drivers name, try using unix base(linux) live cd's, like knoppix for example, they usally detect all the drivers u have in minutes and even gives u all the names and serial numbers, then u can download them.

Windows Xp Setup Problem : "setup cannot access the disk". I have HDD: Maxtor Diamondmax Plus 9 80GB ATA/133 HDD.

try doing a F disk on the hard drive first then format it and make it the active drive and then try installing the xp software. if it has had another operating system say for instance windows ME it will not install on that drive without removing it. You can also go to www.maxtor.com and download their free hard drive tools to see if there is a problem that thier software can fix. the software is for free.

HDD unable to detect at My Computer

Well first I would pull the hard drive out of the case. I would then get a USB to IDE/SATA drive cable. I would connect the drive not being able to be detected to another computer via USB.

If it works the drive is still good but the data might be corrupt. If the data is corrupt I would be sure to get any stuff you can off of it and basically reformat and reload.

What new HDD will match my Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 8?

Mark,
You can use any size HDD in your computer as a slave and it does not have to be an exact match for the maxtor. You will however need the make sure that the connections on the new drive match. For example SATA drives will not attache to an IDE cable and vice versa. The drive that you mentioned is an IDE style drive so unless your MOBO has SATA connectors on it you will need to buy an IDE/EIDE drive.

I HAVE A MAXTOR DIAMOND MAX PLUS 9 60GB ATA/133 HDD. I HAVE LOST HALF OF MY DRIVE CAPACITY. [email protected]

try using a partitioning utility like gparted, pmagic, partition magic etc. this will tell you whether your drive is full, partitioned, how much is used and if the partition takes up the full disk. also, try doing scandisk on it to see if there are errors and to get the errors fixed
