When loosing a device,the only real way I found is to hardformat the disk, as it
seems that in theese cases the problem is in an area ( end and beginning of disk)which
is not normally written by a normal format and is not solved by a normal format.
In this area lies too the information of activation, and you'll have to reactivate
any programs....
For sure have a secure backup of your files before....drive image is good enough,
but as i said, doesnt keep the information of activations.
Be patient, hardformatting goes all the night long for a 120 gigas !
A good program to use for the hardformatting is Powermax, which you'll find on the
maxtor site.
I used it on other brands that maxtor, an it worked, when a friend of mines lost
the sound integrated on his mothercard...
Every way, each manufacturer of disks seems to have a similar program to propose.
And why don't try to install windows XP which is much more compatible with many things?
Good luck....
