If your portable hard drive was set up as the "H" drive, go to My Computer (in Windows XP), or Computer (in VISTA), select your "H" drive and view your files (if there).

This hard drive is faulty and the clicking sound is known as the "click of death". If you need to recover data from this hard disk, there are companies that can recover data from faulty hard drives BUT it will cost you an arm and a leg for their services.
It seems that the disk-drive is "dying".
If it works, at least a bit, copy all the files from it onto your C: drive, or burn the files to DVD-writable disk(s).
Then, exercise the warranty to get it repaired/replaced.
it sounds like you have damaged the disk itself. most portable hard drives are just notebook drives in portable enslosures. The same think happened to my WD portable and I had to trash it. I saw the same symptoms and only after playing with it could i get it to read but only with 2mb since the disk was cracked. hope this helps you.
You don't install backup files; they're just files.
What you want to do is back up files to a portable hard drive. Then you want to find the backup files on your D drive and delete them.
The biggest commonly available flash drive is 8gb. That's enough to back up your word processing documents and such, but not enough to back up your entire computer. It's may not even be enough room to back up just your music files.
