When i plug in my hard drive it starts to make a clicking sound as the motor begins. It is not connecting. What do i do?
This doesnt always means the drive is bad, it can just be the cable...
My girlfriend bought me a verbatim 250gig external drive, which accoring to her was new from the shop but my PC couldnt pick it up, when connected, blue light flashes with a clicking nose... tried all usb ports but nothing... (wanted to take it back but she lost the receipt!!!!) after that didnt really bother with it until one evening playing FIFA on my sisters playstation and realised that the usb cable is the same as my external drive, so tried the cable and VOILA!!!!!!! PC picks it up and works as suppose to, till this day... So guys and gals, before going out to replace your external drive, borrow a playstation usb cable from your neighbor and have a go...
hope this helps
cheers!
