My one-year-old 80 GB Maxtor external HD suddenly stopped working yesterday.
My PC seemed to go on the blink as well (wouldn't start up after re-booting), but all was OK again when I disconnected the Maxtor and re-started the computer.
When I plug the Maxtor back in however it simply makes a 'click' noise every few seconds and an orange light flashes. The drive (L) doesn't show up at all in my computer.
Can anyone advise? Thanks!
