Hi, my Maxtor harddrive recently stopped working....I have it jumpered correctly and everything, I've check all wires and cordings, and replaced them with brand news ones. I can get it to detect the harddrive when I have hit hooked up as a slave to my 1.9gb harddrive, but when I try to format it it says "Windows could not format this drive" or something like that. And I've also tried instaling multiple windows on it 98, Xp Home, Xp Prof, and they all detect it, but when it tries to format it gives me an error also saying it could not format it....any help is VERY MUCH appreciated, I cannot affored a new harddrive right now...
Thanks,
Zack
