YES absoloutely. Diff Size, Make. There is NO difference to the PC.

The drive is dead, the clicking is a mechanicle failure. if you want your data back you will have to spend alot of money on data recovery

Unfortunately, that's what is called the 'click of death' - the hard drive is trying to recalibrate, and failing. It might be possible to read the disk, but it takes specialized equipment and it's not cheap. You need to find a "data recovery service" near you.

I assume it is a USB connection? Does it also have a power adaptor or a USB dongle that has 2 USB connectors? If you cannot get it to power up, the only other option to retrieve your data is to take the HD out of the case and connect it to a PC or laptop using a SSD or SATA to USB adapter and see if you can get the PC to recognize it.

I doubt they are still available but usually one can be found on the maxtor web site, (many years ago).

Find it in lazda

I replace my hard drives after 2 or 3 years. Yours seems to have quit early, possibly the transformer is not working. If your external drive lights up, the electronics could be bad. At any rate, the bad news is it sounds like time for a new drive. I hope you have a backup of the contents.

The application that was used to create those files is not in your laptop. Ergo, they cannot be read.
