Late yesterday plugged the HD in and Windows tried to open & search for files then nothing.
Shows up in my computer "F" drive right click highlights and hour glass shows attempts to open nothing.
I left this plugged in all night (yes a little desperate) causes my system to slow.
Noise, yes unfortunately, spinning and clicking regular intervals.
Do you believe there is a way to recover the data without spending a fortune? Honestly, a hard lesson learned I was using this HD as an "extension to my laptop". Store my work in this hard drive about ten years worth of documents and pictures. No I did not back this up anywhere else ugh.
Thank you,
Laura
