Hi,

Right click my computer...go to manage...then to disk management. What is the status of your disk? Is it online?

As long as the imac has a firewire interface.

I would recommend shutting down and restarting your computer to make sure that no instance of this file is up or running. You can also check the status of this file to see if it is in use by pressing ctl + alt + del. This should bring up your task manager, look through the processes and see if this file is being used, and if it is you can right click on the file and select "end Process", or "end process tree". If it does not appear here, or you still can not delete the file from this point, you can download a tool called Unlocker. This tool does what it's name specifies. Once downloaded you can delete the file, and if there is an issue deleting it, a window will pop up asking what you want to do, select delete and the file should be able to be accessed for deletion! Hope this helps

Sorry to inform you, that once your hard drive clicks, it's already dead and unusable. It is called the "Click of Death" for hard drives.

You may want to try bringing your HD to the nearest data recovery center and see if they could recover the files from the HD to another media.

Thank you and good luck!

By default, the disk is formatted as FAT32, a format that bothe the MAC and PC understand.

Hi,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me".

T your concern:

• initially, pls verify that it is indeed an external storage problem rather than a laptop USB issue by trying other USB devices and determine if they are recognized and working;
• disassemble the enclosure of the Acomdata external hard drive and remove the actual hard drive;
• you would need the use of a 2nd PC, a desktop that could accommodate the HD from the Acomdata (IDE or SATA);
• install the HD from the Acomdata as a Secondary Master or Slave internally to the 2nd PC;
• boot the 2nd PC and determine if the HD from the Acomdata will be recognized as a local drive;
• chances are that the partition of the HD from the Acomdata was messed up. This would explain the blinking blue light;
• download and install a file recovery program. An example is GetDataBack (unfortunately not a freeware but DEMO is available) and do a recovery. It would take some time based on the size of the HD from the Acomdata;
• temporarily save the recovered data in the 2nd PC. You can burn this likewise into a DVD backup should the 2nd PC be capable of that;
• after recovery, re-partition and format the HD from the Acomdata while still attached to the 2nd PC;
• should the re-partition and format be successful, you can transfer back the temporarily saved recovered files;
• a nice, simple, fast and safe partitioning/formatting software is Partition Magic (unfortunately not a freeware but FREE TRIAL is available).
• should the re-partition and format be not successful, you can replace only the HD and/or claim warranty.
  

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

I have the very same problem than the one posted by gyoung826 on Aug 14, 2008. My HD is an Acomdata 160 GB, HybriDrive 2,5

Got rid of the FAT32 formatting on the HD. Can't believe they ship hd with FAT32. That did it.
