spookywillow Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 well they had it on maxtors site and took it off as testing had been completed, they must also put something in the program that disables it when the testing period is up. looks like maxboost wont work at all now until they release the alpha program, sorry iit didnt work Link to post Share on other sites

Geiger Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Eh, you could always set your system clock back toany time before June just to try it n see if it works for you. If it doesn't jus set your system time back to normal and then uninstall it. Link to post Share on other sites
