Okies i have a maxtor 500gb ext USB 3200 model and i pluged it in today and all i get is powerup, when i plug usb in it spins up as if to read the hdd disk.
Now when it spins up it drops off about 3 seconds in, so you hear it spin up to speed then die almost straight away, it then clicks a couple of times then re attempts to spin up,
does anyone know how bad this problem is as it contains 400gb of priceless data that was backed up to it whilst i formatted all my current drive space on the pc. unfortunatly it takes so much time to move the data back i hadnt got around to it.
Was going to drop into PC world and see if their tecdh guys can fix but if can do it myself even better as i dont want anyone having access to the data i have stored.
