Iomega 1 TB Problems
So, I today I went to access my hard drive I haven't used in 2-3 months and I went to start it up and my computer would recognize it. Then I realized the disc inside isn't spinning and is just clicking. I'm running windows vista, but it's worked on it before. I don't know what the problem is. If anyone has any ideas please tell me.

Re: Iomega 1 TB Problems
Clicking is indication of a physical failure, when you said your computer recognized the drive, in what way. Is it shown in device manager under disk drives correctly? It may just be recognizing the USB enclosure, but not the actual hard drive inside. Several Iomegas have had Seagate drives inside as the actual hard drive. Can you open the enclosure and get the make and model number of the actual drive inside the enclosure? If it is a Seagate at 1 TB it is probably a 7200.11 drive. These drives had some firmware issues that would have symptoms you describe - drive not found at start up.
