Below the dotted line is the specifications for the Maxtor Personal Storage 
3200.  My processor is 1.2 or 1.3 GHz but a Celeron and not a Pentium III.   
The processor speed exceeds Maxtor minimum.   Does the chip make a difference?
   
  I have SP 2 on my PC (downloaded and not factory installed).  Is this a 
factor?
   
   
  The Maxtor diagnostic tool indicates no unit attached.  I read some where on 
the Maxtor Website that that hard drive has to be partitioned.  Some where else 
it reads upon installation a new drive letter shows up.
   
  I am not sure if my PC meets the minimum requirements, the portable drive is 
defective or if I am doing something wrong.  Any ideas?

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