I have the same problem. These guys are clueless. I removed the warrenty sticker, undid the screws, and slid the hard drive bracket out easily with a little push. Unplug the wire connecting the power switch to the board. Push the switch out from the inside, applying presure to the top and bottom. You've removed the faulty switch. Replacing it is my new problem.

check it on some other system also if result is the same then change the usb cable then check

If this external hard drive uses a power adapter and when it is plugged into the mains socket and you do not get a blue light or hear the hard drive spinn then most likely the power adapter is faulty and cannot supply power to the hard drive.

Hi,Normally the driver is preinstalled with the operating system.If there the driver is not getting installed properly, you will have to remove the drivers and let the OS reinstall it once more.Can you tell me which OS you are using?

Hi,Try uninstalling the Generic USB Hub and USB root HUB drivers listed in your computer.Restart the computer and then try connecting the HDD once more.

Freezing a dropped drive wont help it.
The clicking you hear is a mechanical issue.
The drive is seeking it's "home" position" and cannot find it.
The data would need to be invaluable to send to a data recovery service and most start there evaluation at $300-$500 and charge by the megabyte for restored data
You can replace a 1Tb drive today for less then $100

Hello vunit2007,
I've read your "post," and I think that the best solution to the 'problem is to:
Get an "Update on the Drivers and Software. "Most situations cannot be solve by 'pressing a couple of buttons'; sometimes We have to go into the "Control Panel," or go to a "Website" to get updates for the computer, "Drivers are needed for Hardware, eg, (Hard Drives, Printers, CD / DVD Players, Audio Sound, Speakers, Microphones, Mouse, Keyboards, and Webcams), to work correctly; also, some Software products." "Upgrading the computer in any way, or added a 'new' software product?" Causes the System Configurations, to change! Many cases involving "Upgrades from an 'older' {Operating System, eg. XP or Vista}, to Windows 7, can cause a change in "Hardware Devices," not functioning properly; or not to work at all!"

Change the usb cable for one that you know works.

Connect it to a PC, and use "Disk Management" on the PC to delete all the partitions:
Click Start
Right-click My Computer
Click Manage
Expand "Storage"
Click "Disk Management (local)"
Click to select the partition.
Right-click and choose Delete.

Its an issue with connectivity.
Check the USB connection.

It maybe the usb connection that is faulty. As a last resort you can take the drive out of that enclosure and fit it into a new caddy, or fit it straight inside a pc

remove "Warranty void if removed" sticker on bottom of case... unscrew screws...

my computer> right click on the terabyte> select format> make sure u change the option of ntfs to fat 32
