[pchelpers] Re: Maxtor External HD problem

Tonia:  I also have a Maxtor One Touch 250GB ext. drive.  My manual 
says to install the software BEFORE you plug the drive into the USB 
port.  I have it running on my desktop and my laptop......both XP 
Home.  My drive tends to get very warm after being on a 
while........so I only turn it on when needed.  If I need it for a 
long time......I turn a small fan directly on it to keep it cool.  I 
was told if left on a long time - it could burn it out.  So I take no 
chances.......it is great for backing up data.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
