Well actually my friends 3yr old son dropped my external hard drive. Now it will power on and everything, but it makes this noise as it sits there and tries to get loaded by windows like a clicking noise, or if you put a scratched up CD in a drive the noise that makes.
I'm pretty sure the drive is toast which is no big deal, but i've got important files and information on there, is there any way to get the data off the drive?
Any tips or advice is greatly apprecaited
