I have recently updated my OS to Windows 7. i need to load the files that i have on the Maxtor 3200 on to the computer but it will not work. i have looked on the internet for solutions but nothing really seems to work. any suggestions?thanks
did the drive work before you updated your computer to windows 7? does the external drive work on other computers, like a laptop or something?
Clarify: "load files"
What kind of files? Not your installed programs?
I assume the Maxtor 3200 is an external USB drive?You are not able to copy & paste the folders from one drive to the other?I just did the same with mine with no problems, i.e., it has nothing to do with Win7.
Would a problem of this nature arise if the files (on the external) were created in a fat32 format and now are trying to be transfered to a NTFS file system? truenorth
NTFS reads FAT32 fine...FAT32 does not recognise NTFS...
