Cannot Access Maxtor Shared Storage II

I am trying to gain access to my Maxtor Shared Storage II Drive, it is 500Gb. Perhaps a year ago it was set up with my old PC, but due to it breaking down i am trying to connect it with my laptop. I have installed Maxtor Easy Manage, but when double clicked i get the error message "Maxtor Easy Manage is already open" and it closes and that is that.

It does not appear in my networks section, and i have valuable items stored onto it that i would like to get ahold of asap.

It is connected via ethenet cable.

Is there any way of accessing it? IP address? Etc?

 

Taaa,

Re: Cannot Access Maxtor Shared Storage II

First try the Network trouble shooting guide listed at the top of the forum. If you unit is connected to a router you should make sure that it has an ip address. If you know the ip address you should be able to enter the ip address into windows explorer and it should show up. The ip will be like 192.168.1.* with the star being 100-253.
