Title: Like other users, product was dead on arrival.
Review: Having had few problems with Maxtor in the past, I purchased this unit for back-up purposes to accomodate the larger hard drive in my new PC. Yes, the new PC uses Vista Ultimate, but do not be so quick to blame Vista.Nothing I did would enable this drive to be seen, whether it be a Vista or an XP machine. As a further test, to give the unit a benefit of the old doubt, I handed the unit over to a well-experienced friend in the hardware field. He suggested I use it for a doorstop or a boat anchor; he could not get it to work either.Return the unit? Sure, if you want the added insult of having to pay for the return yourself. Customer service, I found, is long gone at Maxtor.Save your money. Look elsewhere. Anyplace but Maxtor.
