• I just talked to data recovery people yesterday and they said it's just so when you put another manufacturer's drive into OneTouch II, then it will be automatically set to maximum capacity of 128GB. Additionally, also the "SetMax" command will be disabled with it, so it is not even possible to set the drive back to its original capacity. It is not related to this WD3200 model, not even to WD drives, as they said it was happened with all other companies (except Maxtor) drives put into OneTouch II. The only way to restore the original capacity was using very special cracking tools only data recovery companies have access to. But as they said, they have still no idea why these things with OneTouch II happen as this was also a brand new first-time experience for them. May-be here on SR forum are some more knowledgeable people from Maxtor or Data recovery services who can give some more advice... That's all I know now, I have no more ideas.
• And of course the support line at Maxtor is totally useless:
