HOW DO I FIX A CODE 10 CANNOT START ERROR IN VISTA?
I had a Maxtor 200 GB external harddrive connected to this machine before; however now my personal wont recognize the drive. It is model Maxtor Personal Storage 3200.
The error I get is the following.
This device can’t start. (Code 10)
Click ‘Check for solutions’ to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
I tried to check for solutions and get nothing so far.

Did you install any software that came with the drive? I have an external and while it worked with-out installing any software, I installed the software that came on the drive. It’s a Seagate 500GB drive. The software I installed with it has a diagnostic feature that is included with it.
Since Seagate bought out Maxtor, you can now find diagnostic software for your hard drive here:
