Help! Calling all computer geeks
I recently purchased a Maxtor brand external hard drive one-touch back-up system for my computer. Since I installed it back it November, I've got it scheduled to run daily at 6:30 pm. Within the first 2 weeks of installation, I kept getting error messages stating that the drive was not recognized. I checked all the connections (power, USB cables, etc.) and everything was fine. I disconnected everything then reconnected it, the computer then recognized the external drive. A few weeks later, the same thing happens. I disconnect, then reconnect, and it recognizes the external drive. Is there something going on with my main hard drive, operating system or any software that you may know of that may be kicking the external drive off line? Any ideas? I am running Windows XP Home edition. Any info would be appreciated as this is driving me crazy.
