Any sounds other than a light humming or hearing that arm move lightly back and forth is usually a sign of the hard drive failure beginning. Does the computer have a S.M.A.R.T.S. system on it in the bios. What model of computer is it? You need to get in the bios by tapping F10 or DEL key a few times when it shows the first screen on the monitor. Once you get in bios, go through each tab and see if you can locate a smarts option and make sure it is enabled. Scandisk is only good if there is actually bad sectors or bad headers on the platters of a hard drive, corrupt data and such, thus it gives you the software physical side of the hard drive, but the smarts is a self monitoring system. It detects abnormality in the hard drive itself and warns you ahead of time of a catastrophic failure due to the way the drive is not acting correctly. Here is more info about smarts.

You understand the drive does nothing by itself? It is your computer that uses the drive. If the computer is not connected properly then nothing can happen. Check the cable (substitute a different cable), try a different connector on the computer. If all else fails you can take it to the store you bought it from (or a store that sells your product) and have a technician test your drive.

It is possible that 2T drive has different technology, so it may not upgradeable. You need to contact Lacie tech support.

a new computer? how old is the computer your using and how old is the external hard drive? chances are either the computers pulling every gram of memory out in an attempt to search the hard drive for what you want leaving nothing for you to do other work with. might be upgrade time if its getting on in age. if the hard drives ageing your going to be better off turning your external drive back into an internal one if you have a tower. you should have room to mount at least 2 drives into the tower. just buy a new hard drive connector and plug it up. the older USB drives work a good bit faster directly connected to the system.

Too late....you did it now. You forever discharged the original code and replaced it with invalid data that will never work.
