" "
when I plug my wd 250 hd into my laptop (Win XP), my hd sounds funny (it makes like 3 "clank" noises, like when trying to read the drive). Win XP will recognize that a usb connection has been made but when I go to My PC to find my hd drive it´s not there. I was working fine yesterday.

Those 'clank' noises are definitely not a good sign--the drive is failing and is trying to spin up but is unable to.

The only suggestion I have is to get pricing on sending it off to a company who can repair the hard drive and (hopefully) recover any data you have on it.

Sorry for the bad news...
