have you tried entering in the drive info as a user defined? if that 
won't help, I don't know unless there is a program that maxtor is using 
similar to the ones supplied by seagate on some of their drives. (in the 
early days, you copied the info to a floppy disk then loaded it on as a 
utils tool after the drive was formatted)
