-   The icon for my Lacie hard drive disappeared from my Mac desktop. I tried turning everything off and re-starting, no luck. I plugged a different Lacie hard drive into the same computer with the same cable and the icon appeared. I plugged the "bad" Lacie drive into a different computer with different cable and it still didn't appear. The light goes on when I turn the drive on, it makes a brief, occasional whirring sound, but the computer doesn't recognize that it's plugged in. -   Guest

-   I have a 250GB acomdata hard drive. it makes real quiet clicking noise when I hook it to my powerbook g4 and will not show up on the desktop or anywhere else for that matter. Yet when i hook it to my 13" macbook and desktop  pc it works fine. Same cable different computers, different usb ports, nothing seems to work. -   trigger32

-   I had problems with my PC I had to do major clean up including deleting some viruses

once my computer was fixed I plugged in my External Hard Drrive AcomData 250g but now my pc does not see it. The device is making very slight clicking sound.

is there a way to get at the data?

Thanks
