Runtime error while trying to format a drive

I've read the various posts about runtime errors and none seem to help me as my problem is a bit different

I'm running Win2KPro with all updates current. Also I'm running the '04 Norton products but they're off. I've also gone into task manager and shut down everything that I can

I'm trying to format a Maxtor drive using Maxblast3. Each time I try, it pauses for about a minute, then get's it's act together and starts to format. Right as it's about done, I get the "Runtime error! Program: D:\Maxblast3.exe Abnormal program termination" message. And of course when I hit OK, the program shuts down

What should I be looking for, or do to stop this?

I appreciate any help I can get

The focus of this group is on developer issues and not end-user issues.

You may want to contact Maxtor.

Sorry. I read through all the messages that came up in my initial search and most of the questions were similiar to mine, except I was experiencing the problem only when trying to format a new drive with Maxtor's MaxBlast3 software

I figured this was still an Win2KPro problem as it would have been with MS outlook or IE

I've searched Maxtor's site and came up with butkiss. I'm a bit frustrated as I've not found anything in my google searches and now I've been shut down here as well

You have not been shut down.

If anyone here knew how to answer your question you would have gotten a
reply. The people who frequent this group offer advice on developing
software, not on end-user problems.

You see the run-time error as a result of
an error in the software you use. If you
were developing this software in C++ and
would post the C++ source code causing the
error, you probably had a chance that we
would be able to help you to improve your
source code.
Since you are a user, you have to contact
the manufacturer of this software so they
can improve their software.
