Technology Stocks : Maxtor (MXTR) -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Hello there!

Sorry to hear of the difficulty you are having.

Understand, however, that you have listed a whole variety of
components--hardware, software, ANY ONE or ANY COMBINATION of which may not want to work with the drive. You should go back to your source and have them make it work or take it back.

It is understood that if this drive does not work with Windows, that
is a serious problem. But to assume that it does not work in any
system (other than just yours) and from there go on to assume that
Maxtor is finished in the market is a little "out to lunch".

Good luck in getting this resolved.

Jim

There is a bulletin on microsoft data base that talks about IDE
issue that can occur in certain situations with win98. I would try it which amounts to removing a couple of files in the inf subdirectory, and removing the HD IDE driver and pwr down and let win98 detect the new hardware and reinstall and setup the inf files dvrbin files etc.
It solved an ide prob I had and it wasnt the drive.
I hope this gives you a clue.
Good luck,.
