Clicking sounds, or sometimes no sounds but the HDD doesn't show up in 'My Computer".
"Safely remove hardware" says "USB Mass Storage Device: WD". Grr all my files are on this WD Passport 320 GB HDD whioch is only 3 months old! I didn't drop the drive or something, but my computer went in standby. What to do, does somebody have a solution? I would be gratefull!

when a disk make clicking sound it likely the writer head in the disk. I suggest that you leave your disk to nearst computer store and ask if they can do something, they should have some special programs to recover your data.

have you looked in the BIOS, does the BIOS find your harddrive?
