sounds like it's either that your hard disk has a hardware (physical) problem, or that it has a firmware issue.

You need to try to take out the HDD, and put it into someone else's computer and test it as a secondary drive to see if it works there or not.

if you hear clicking noises from the hard disk, my advice is for you to NOT try ANYMORE because it would damage your platters. Contact a recovery company. If it's a mechanical/physical error, you don't want to keep turning on the computer/hdd.

If you are in Malaysia, you can call me
