Hi. I have a hitachi external hard drive (I think it's called EZ drive) and am on a mac osx. the drive is clicking and will not show up on my screen.

I do have some items that aren't backed up and really want to retrieve them. Is it possible to do without paying $500?

Thanks.

More than likely you will need pro recovery to get the data however if the drive is not under warranty you can try to remove it from the external case and connect direct to a desktop sata port and see if you can access the drive or if its still clicking. Did the drive get dropped ? if yes then the heads are more than likely damaged. It helps if you post the exact make and model of the drive.
