I think my external hard drive is corrupt or else damaged. When I connect it to my laptop or media player it does not get recognised.
Power is going to the hard drive though because the little blue light turns on when it is connected.
It was working fine until I downloaded a file and now I think it may be corrupt. When it is connected to my laptop or media player it does make a noise like it is running but only for a couple of seconds and then it stops.
Is there anyway I can recover the data from this external hard drive as I have a LOT of valuable files that I wouldnt be able to replace easily.
PLEASE HELP... I dont know what to do
