    Hard drive troubles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ok my western digital is making some funky noises (truuu ki truu ki) kinda :P
    windows cant read it and neither bios

    does that means that i lost all my data on it? or can i recover with some program or something?
    damn all my music is thereeeee jesus christ im about to explode and destroy it just to calm my rage....

    argh i had it on a enclousure USB as an external driver....but it doesnt read it i also try to conect it directly to my computer and also is making weird sounds

    does it cost that much to repair it?

      dont destroy it, whatever you do, lol.

      just keep it and try to recover all you can and get a fresh one when you can imo.

          Sounds like the mechanic that spins the disc is broken?

                      damn dude... good luck with all that...

                      i have an older 500gb western digital external hd that i had to send to the clean room to retrive the data... it cost a grip to do too.

                      try always to keep them still, and away from other shit that may fall on em, lol. one of my speakers had fallen on my hd (while it was on) and crushed the internal mechanisms and disk arm pretty bad, it was such a bust. now i keep the damn wd in this small lock-safe thing i rigged up. i also keep my 2tb wd worldbook in it as well; but i've had enough trouble with western digital that i'll never invest in their crap ever again. just picked up a maxtor 1tb internal sata from that seagate clearance for 79 bucks, so i'm stoked.

                              sucks bro, but harddrives dont provide much reliability. they tend to fail a LOT, specially the desktop and external HD since the lower quality of the disks.
                              The only way to be safe is to do backups every now and then.

                              Also there are plenty data recovery programs that could save all or some of your data depending on how bad is the problem.
                              Good luck
                              Dont panic, its organic.
