Hi Jephree

Have Start/Run/ diskmgmt.msc all OK

Also the tool you want from Maxtor is PowerMax - downloaded the software and created a floppy. rebooted with floppy in , clicked F8 when needed to to agree etc etc. Then the screen came up like this


Test Status Current Drive
Scanning for drive (upto 1 minute)
..




Detecting devices
Please wait

Then nothing else happened, tried the process again with the same result

Regards

Harfin
