my western digital 250gb my book external makes 2-3 clicking noises when i plug it into my computer but it doesn't show up anywhere on the computer i do searches but nothing please help
First instinct is that your drive has failed. I would remove the drive and insert it into a system to test.
If it works, then it is the housing from the external drive that failed.
If the drive does not work once inside your system, then the drive is bad.
Good luck.

As of this morning my Western Digital Ebook (mdl # WD500D32)cannot be recognized by my computer. Rather than the drive reading "my book" it now reads local disc and a window wants me to format the drive. I chose not to because I was afraid everything would get wiped out. I tried a different cable, thinking the cable had gone bad, but had the same result. A quick and incomplete Autoplay shows up but then there is nothing in the drive, and of course, as I said above, the drive is now known as local disc rather than My Book
