La Cie External Hard Drive 160 gig




By JF448 on Nov 17, 2007

" "
My Lacie is connected to an imac g4 and is suddenly making weird clicking noises and at times hangs up my computer with the ever spinning ball. I am wondering if it is dying on me or maybe it is another problem. It is connected by firewire to the imac. Thank you for any information that can help me solve this problem.
Haven't used my Hard drive for a few months and turned it on today and get the blinking clicking sound described in the last post. icon wont show up on desktop

Same Problem

Nov 13, 2008

-   LaCie Big Disk Extreme 1Tb drive: After unmounting (via USB unmount icon -- Win2K) and disconnecting and having them off for a day or so, they wouldn't re-mount. I had to re-boot several times. There was a BOOT USB driver installation request from the "New Hardware Found" pop-up several time, and it couldn't find the driver. After mounting, one drive started clicking, then I got "Delayed Write Failed". Contacting LaCie I eventually was told that the power brick could be at fault. I swapped power bricks and the "bad" one came back to life, except that the drive seems to be corrupted. I used RecoverSoft's Data Rescue PC to look at the drive and it reported file corruption. -   bobguy

A clicking noise from a harddrive is defenenly NOT a good thing. It usually means that the harddrive is going bad.

Try to freeze it in freezer. it may give a time to recover back your data.
