Well I think my external hard drive just went down the toilet. It makes this clunking sound when it tries to load up. It will try 3 times to start then just sits idle. My PC does not even recognize the external drive also. So does this mean it's toast? And if so, is there any way to recover some of the files on there. Almost 3/4 was burned to dvds and well the rest was not. I'd appreciate your input.
