Malenko:
have you tried hitting it any sort of data recovery?

CCM:
Does the old freezer trick still work?

J_K_M_A_N:
What brand is it? If it is a seagate try their seatools for dos. I ran that before I sent my drive in for warranty. It cleaned the drive...just took a while on the bad areas.

I've had this happen to me and I was going to :laugh2: but instead I will be kind, understand the situation and say  :hissy:

Necro:
It's actually a variation on the click of death, so the drive is completely inaccessible (i.e. won't even spin up and allow it to be accessed/recognized at all).

I did manage, using the freezer trick, to reaccess it once.  But it went back to clicking so fast and so many sectors were read as bad I couldn't pull anything off.  After a refreeze, it seems to be completely screwed and wouldn't restart so I could clear it.

Luckily, WD is letting me do a 'Secure Information' RMA.  So, I scan the drive, write a letter of what's on it, and send that in and the RMA goes through.  Hopefully.  They did ask for a letter on company letterhead. :/
