redz11 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Its just clicking and wont boot up windows, clicking = dead most of the time.Could be bad boot sector? whack it in an usb external enclosure and run it as an external to see if its recognised as a hard drive, you`d be able to access it, if say the boot sectors were fk'dhope u manage to recover it dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JAG Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I've had a few problems from time to time with a few seagate external hard drives in the past and literally windows hasnt recognised them.I read into it and apparently its something to do with the amount of contact pins on USB leads or sumin, so there being 1 more in the port and 1 less in the male end you plug into your USB port.So this might sound a bit simple but if u'v got another lead that can plug into the back of the external hard drive plug it in your pc with that n it might pick it up Sucks ass losing work, my last PC died about a month ago, the motherboard packed up... Then where I hadn't backed stuff up (epic fail) I lost an entire CG project I was half way through... Still not had the drive to try and start it back up yet either... Hope you get it all recovered man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
