Hi... i've recently run into a most frustrating problem.... looking for some
help...
I have IBM/Lenovo T61 laptop.. XP with SP3...
the other day, I was saving a file to my Maxtor 200gb HD, and during the process
something happened and the saving became "no longer responding"... I waited and
waited for it to respond, and it never came back around....
after that, I could not access that Maxtor One Touch III 200gb, and had the
"Device Cannot Start (Code 10)" error...
I then the Maxtor on a different PC, new usb-cable,
installed/uninstalled/reinstalled drivers, restarted PC, etc etc... all with no
luck
I then got a USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA adapter kit, removed the HD from its casing and
tried to install back to PC.... got semi-good results...
device manager shows:
"USB Mass Storage Device",
"the device is working properly",
and "use this device (enable)"
but, i can't seem to find it in "my computer"... it was not assigned a
letter....
when i look in "safely remove hardware", it is listed, but again - no drive
letter
when I go to My Computer (right click) > Manage > Disk Management is does not
show up (or else, I don't see it)
so, those external HD is kind of there, but not accessible....
I've tried the USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA connection on 2 separate laptops, with 2
separate maxtor HDs (40gb, 200gb) and getting the same results....
I'm searching for a solution, but and any ideas to help sort this are welcome...
I'm optimistic I can recover the files/data on the drive.
thanks in advance!!!!
(I hope I put this in the right thread... thanks)
