Last night, I investigated 12 old hard drives. Use adapter cable to plug into USB port, delete partitions, format, ready to use for storing images of other computers.
Every Maxtor drive (7 of them) failed to be detected or was listed as, "not initialized" and they couldn't be initialized. Every drive that was not Maxtor worked exactly as expected.
Right now, I am assuming something is wrong with the cable set I bought, or Vista hates Maxtor, but I am not quite ready to drop 7 hard drives in the trash.
Any suggestions? (Besides to go get my other cable set from the bum that "borrowed" them 3 months ago.)
