This guy would agree with you - he claims that there is no such driver. However, this driver issue was a problem experienced by someone else, and from what he could determine, there were bad sectors on the drive, and the Maxtor driver was failing to deal with them, crashing and reloading, and the result was peculiar disc damage leaving parts of a directory unreadable. > As for Maxtor HDs, I have not had a problem with any of their drives ... > Whatever this person's problem is, blaming it on Maxtor really sounds like > sour grapes.
