[QUOTE="RDJ, post: 10158768, member: 5905"] correct. it SHOULD be pretty straight forward. Hahahahaha this happens a lot. I would guess that 50% or more of tech heads don't have their shit backed up so even in the business it is not unusual. the other thing you can to that I didn't mention is go to Frys, or some other computer parts store and buy an external CASE to put the hard drive in. you may be able to recover some data that way. A case will run you 20 bucks or so. The concern is the clicking sound you heard. if you had JUST got the error and no clicking chances are high you could recover. but with the associated "clicking" chances of successful recovery drop significantly. the clicking is likely caused by the heads being told to move but for whatever reason they can't so something in the drive mechinisim is likely broke.
