Your harddrive is corrupted you would need to reformat it but this will wipe everything that was stored on it. You'll have to start it obviously with the drive out and install it then go to system settings/memory to reformat
Probably not the right answer for your problem. Mine is an external 1 TB Simple Drive. Mine wouldn't respond at all. I unplugged the power cable from the back of the hard drive and replugged it in and instantly it worked. I had tried rebooting the computer, plugging/unplugging over and over into the computer and that didn't work.
The hard drive could have been irreparably damaged. The chattering sound is the heads trying to find the beginning of the data sectors and can't. The drive will shut itself off automatically after a predetermined time period.
it sounds as that you have flashed the usb port. take the harddrive to someone with a computer and plug it in theirs. if it still does not work remove from case and plug the harddrive straight in to yours.
the drive is damadged internally, you have to phone or email a data recovery centre to get your data back, that can cost $1500+ because of the size of the disk.
If it's NOT the 3 ROL (aka the "red lights of death" which usually means something wrong with the console's motherboard), it maybe something as simple as a loose video connection. Take apart EVERYTHING (including the harddrive).
If it still freezes after the reconnection, first try performing disk drive maintenance, which is located in the memory section of the options menu (goto my xbox and press right on the analog stick until you reach SYSTEM SETTINGS). Once you've done the disk maintenance/cache clear try playing some more to see if it freezes again.
If it is STILL freezing try playing it w/o the harddrive. Not all games can work w/o the harddrive, but if you can verify that it's the harddrive causing this then you know it's the HD and not the console it self.

How much memory do you have installed in your
computer? It may need to be increased as this is likely to be the cause
of your computer freezing.
Hope this is of some help. Bud
if the simple tech is still in warranty I would return it to the seller as not compatible with your computer you want to use it on. otherwise you could reference the acer faq to see if this is a driver issue. Another possibility is to see if the fire wire card has updated drivers*(I assume that is the port you are using?) and you could also get a fire wire to usb converter. or try changing the connection on the simple tech a slower serial speed, this may be the trade off to use this item.
