Default Maxtor hard drive problem
Hi ,

I got maxtor 60 GB hard drive which was working fine before i made some mistake...

My computer was on and i attached this device with my pc and it was detected fine that time then i tried to unplug the power cable from this drive while it was on and gave me some spark and since then it did not work, there was not any king of smell or any thing .

But all i want to know that is there any way i can copy my important data which i kept saved in that drive...


Please help me i hope there will be some way to copy my data.

Well sorry for my stupid mistake

My 160gb external Maxtor did this a couple of weeks ago.

I just put it into another enclosure and it worked fine. So I'm guessing something on the original enclosure blew rather than the drive itself.

Not to disagree with Dave, as he may be correct, but going by my situation it's certainly something worth trying.
