Download a slightly older version of the maxblast software and try again. It really is a good peice of software.
If you keep getting dropped to the c:/ promt, you might as well just use
format x:/
Where X is whatever drive leter bios gave the drive. However, using the dos format will format the drive in FAT or FAT32, so if you run XP, you will
need to get the maxblast software working to format the drive to NTFS

It look like Maxtor has pulled the older versions of maxblast from their site. Try googling for them or looking through the
readme for maxblast 3
