My 500 g. Hitachi external hard drive is making a weird noise and now I am unable to read my files. I try to change the USB connection site and it is still not working. Do you think that my files are retrievable? and is it going to cost me a lot of money to do so?

Yes.If your HDD is making any real loud noises,the drive is U/S.
Yes,retrieving your files from this drive is possible but ultimately expensive.Sorry,but once HDD is U/S,thats it.
