If he's using NTFS (if it's Windows 2000 or newer he should be) that shouldn't be a problem.

Still the file system could have become corrupt but there's less of a chance of that happening with NTFS than FAT32.

Don't such corruptions normally mess the whole drive up though?
 
It can sometimes be repaired, there's probably a greater chance with NTFS than FAT though.

I think the hard drive might be on its way out, Maxtors seem to be pretty unreliable, mine gave up the ghost too.
 
I think you have to be more careful now so you don't get a rebranded Maxtor harddrive from Seagate.
 
I'm a big Western Digital fan myself. I've had a few nasty problems with Seagate drives, where we got a whole batch of bad drives in a complex RAID array, a new drive would go every week and this was relatively new stuff back then so initializing the new drive in the array took hours and hours of downtime.
