-   I got the same problem with my Trekstor. I just had a powerout in my neighbourhood. After the power had been restored, I started up my PC.
My external HD went berzerk and refuses to start up. Please help me!!
The clicking sound drives me insane.

i had the same problem after it fell over. i gave it a smack and it started working... i know this is extreme and sounds ridiculous, but it worked
it might be because of virus,that stop you to enter your hard disk when you click on it..install anti virus like avg 7.5,mcafee ,norton to check for the virus .
also goto start >open Run>cmd to open command prompt and type chkdsk to check your driver for errors.
i am having the same problem i have a wd200 20 gb hard drive it clicks when computer is turned. and it says detecting ide and stayes ther for ever and never turns on and so i just decided that it was bad so your external is probably burned
