and Maxtor hard drives in general that we see in our lab. We are not affiliated in any way with hard drive manufacturers. All the information below is based solely on our experience and we do not make any claims regarding reliability of the specific model. We see mostly failed drives in our lab and therefore we don't have complete statistics.I have an old computer acting as a fileserver with several drives. The drive that died is a Maxtor(Maxtor 3200). I do not know of any indicators occuring before it failed. I simply couldn't access it today, logged into the computer and found the disk had failed. It does not seem to run mechanically at all. I tried it in another cable and power connector with no luck. KathyK Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Maxtor hard drives are well-known for their firmware problems. Firmware of the drive is not located on the PCB as most people think. Main part of firmware is stored on the platter in so-called System(Service) Area. System Area occupies the negative cylinders, usually on the inner diameter and contains a number of firmware modules. If one of the modules becomes corrupted the whole hard drive micro-operating system can't boot up, the drive can't initialize correctly and stops working. If this situation occurs the drive becomes identified with its factory alias(N40P, CALYPSO, SABRE, GRIZZLY etc) quote often with 0 capacity. If you attempt to boot up from such drive or read any data from it you would get "Disk boot failure. Insert system disk and press enter" or "Primary Master Hard Disk Fail" or "No operating system found" or "USB Device malfunctioned" error or "S.M.A.R.T. Capable But Command Failed" or some other BIOS error. Currently there is no way to fix this type of problem at home. It is not an easy "firmware flashing"; it is quite a complicated procedure and requires use of specialized expensive equipment and deep knowledge of hard drive design and data recovery technology. Luckily, it doesn't usually require opening the HDD in clean room and ordering donor drives, so data recovery in this case shouldn't b
