What really stinks is that I need files off of it for a project I have been working on. (sigh) Anything else I could try? djzenjen (10076)

I have 6 USB ports on my laptop. Anything else I put into them reads fine. I tried my flash drive in all 6 ports and it worked no problem. Maybe there is something wrong with the drive itself? I didn't do anything to it though. I also tried searching for a Maxtor driver, but support said that with XP Pro you don't need a driver. (sigh)

If not next thing I'd do is remove it from the USB box and at it directly to an IDE interface in a desktop computer, if it works there then its the IDE to USB convertor thats had it.
