I'd go with a file recovery program. When I upgraded my 20GB (Yes, 20GB ) Quantam Fireball to an 80GB Western Digital(WD), WD provided a disk titled "Data LifeGuard Tools", if maxtor provides anything similar it should be very easy to recover your files and such. Unfortuantly, Data LifeGuard Tools dont seem to work on Non-Western Digital Hard drives.
But i'd definatly check and see if maxtor provided anything similar.
