Had a similar experience with a WD that started clicking. I could not access
the drive. I took it out of the enclosure and stuck it in my desktop and I
was able to access the drive long enough to retrieve my data.
YMMV but it is worth a shot.
HTH. Good luck.

Send it to a data-recovery lab. ($$$)
And then use Carbonite...

If so, I'm curious why the cloud is seen as a safe backup solution?
The only use I can see for cloud based backups is a secondary backup in

Thanks Dave
I do of course know the marketing message behind such services, but it
just takes a stupid tech having a bad day and your day suddenly gets
really bad ;-)
For that reason alone I can't ever see using it as a primary
backup...but hey...that's me!

You've never been a stupid tech having a bad day yourself? I know I

Most seem to rely on either Amazon or Rackspace, and they simply
provide more friendly front-ends to S3.

Ditto, that is why I keep a local copy(s) of my back up in-house and then
back that up to the cloud. Really, it is a numbers game. Nothing is
impossible but it is highly improbable that both local and cloud will fail
at the same time.

I have had luck using this in the past. You can try the demo version first.

Key to a good backup strategy, have three copies... your primary copy and
two backups.

If you absolutely must have the data, there are several excellent data
recovery companies, but as someone else mentioned, they are costly.
I've use Drive Savers in Novato, CA
http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/ and Disk Doctors in Norcross,
GA http://www.diskdoctors.com/ with great success.
There are alot of response to this thread and i didn't read them all yet
yet... but if you tried multiple computers and have the same issue, my only
other suggestion is to take it apart to get the actual drive out and try to
put it in another enclosure.
You have a 50/50 chance of the issue just
Dunno if anyone has suggested it yet, but give spinrite a try, it is very
cheap and can do a good job of recovery data.
