Hard drive problem

[Jfwibberley]

My hard drive has started making a weird clicking/ beeping sound. Now I can't access the drive at all. here's a video of what is happening inside.

Cheers,

Josh

Hello

If that's your actual Hard drive then you've broken it. Hard Drive cases are not meant to be opened. I hope for your sake you had some kind of data backup for that drive, as data recovery firms charge small fortunes to recover data off broken Hard Drives.

Now that drive's insides have been contaminated with dust, data recovery company would also need to clean platters.

Sounds like case of bad R/W heads what Datacent has on their site.
