In my younger days I used to have a beautiful Siberian Husky called Sasha, and one day Sasha eat £100 in notes, and my £200 Yohiji Yamamoto Adidas sneakers…... Sasha is no longer with us.

Why were you keeping cash in your trainers, silly man?
Oh, and is your Sasha fur lined jacket toasty warm?

^so funny

Sorry to hear this D666. The dog is marking his territories. He wants your boots :P!

Strange question to Finn and Scroogen, when you power up the hard drive does it make a slight clicking noise? If so, it is indeed dead.
ok, back to this…my external hd "sounds" like it is working, so i hear some movement going on, when powering it up! still i can´t "see" it in the workspace though and no sign is showing after i´ve plugged it in...strange!
going to send this fekker to cologne soon…the hd is fucked but i need someone to help me out on getting back my data! min. cost of 249€...yessir!

Data recovery programs are WAY less than that. If the drive is spinning the recovery will likely work. As said by others if it stutters/chinks etc, it's likely going to need to have the platters (spinning disks), inserted into another drive/motor, which has a very low success rate, unless extremely qualified. Summary; DIY, or pay a fortune with a chance of kissing it goodbye anyhow.

thanks for the input guys. well the hd starts to run when i power it up and after a short time, a "clicking" is clearly hearable.
brought it to a friend of mine who´s running a computer store and he told me that the write-read head of the hd is fekked (that´s why the "clicking")…
the external hd isn´t showing when plugged in! -

the external hd isn´t showing when plugged in!if its a Western Digital my book type of hard drive,,they are known for failure,,i have fixed many of em,,,it means in a cheapo kinda way ya gotta open the extrenal case,,extract the HD and piggy back it into a tower unit or an ide/hardrive external adapter,,,,saved loads of Harddrives using mine,,and found many ,,AHEM ,,private/deleted photos

^well that's actually the exact same thing my boy did with the computer store. we opened the external case and stuck the hard drive into a an external hd slot, hooked up with the desktop. it started running but then there was a "clicking" bearable and he said it's fekked and that I have to sent it in to get it fixed/the data saved!
a company called me yesterday which is specialized in such things and they said it's pretty hard to fix it, since one little failure can mess up everything stored on it! so that's why the high cost and all…
snowy is right about his guess then:@Snowy:
Yeah that's going to be one of those expensive/risky to fix jobbies. Needs to be in an entirely dustless operation with a skilled technician.
