Must be something about the USB hard drive adapter that I have. It works fine with every hard drive I have tried except the Maxtors. There are a lot of unused jumper blocks on the Maxtors and Maxtor wont give me any information on them -"for factory use only". I was just curious if there was any relation between the undocumented jumpers and the problem I was having.
