Segate SRD00F2 I'm using the HDD from last 10 months.suddenly it not recognizing. Getting slight clicking sound inside the harddisk.

Yes! I would backup your files and anything that is important, the hardware could last days, weeks, and month's and break down without warning.

Try connecting this USB hard drive to another computer.
The clicking sound is known as the "click of death" the read write head is banging back and forth and is a sign the hard drive is faulty.

This may be due to two problems
1. Due to Virus
2. Due to Insufficient RAM .

Sounds like you still need to either repair the bad sectors on the HDD with a hdd regenerator if possible or replace that HDD.

i think the problem is with ur SATA HDD. To confirm, try another SATA HDD on ur mother board and see if the problem persists

Make sure you are using the right USB cable. Also try on a different USB port (preferred one on the back of the PC)

Can you see the HDD on "Disk Management?"

Also if you hear any clicking sound then the HDD has become faulty.


All the best!

I'd take a look at the <a href="http://segate.com">Segate</a> website.

Check the jumper settings on the back of the drive, if this is the primary HD, set it to master, if secondary, set it to slave, if secondary still does not recognize, switch the ide cable so that the two drives are not on the same one.

keep the first harddisk as master and second harddisk as slave ok
