Check in Disk Manager.

Right-click on My Computer, afterwards select "Manage".
Me too. I'll be interested to hear the fix. Only difference is that mine is old and it used to work great.
Mate it it could be unsound, install it as a slave IDE and see if it is detected.
does it need to be formatted??
You necessitate some disk management software (you'll be capable of download the correct version from Maxtor's website) and your drive desires to be formatted.
Before you format it, however, make sure it's self recognised in the BIOS.
