Hi, I have purchased a Maxtor Basics external portable hard drive (80 GB) today. However, I cannot see the HD getting connected to my laptop.I have connected both the connectors to my laptop for power and data as instructed. I am having a Compaq presario V2000 laptop with Windows XP. Kindly help. I have a Maxtor Basics 160gb - was using it happily connected to my laptop for a month, suddenly it won't work. Have tried in on my desktop, also won't work - the computer just doesn't see the drive. nothing changed, I didn't even move the hard drive off the desk. All my accounting data plus a half-written book, photos etc all on the drive and of course no backup. I've spoken to a data recovery company, minimum charge of $750 to retrieve data, just not possible for me right now. Has anyone had any luck with this issue? Bookie
