I hope somebody can help me out, even if it's just to confirm that I'm screwed.I started up the computer tonight and got some unusual multiple errors that hung up the boot process. Tried Ctrl+Alt+Del, didn't work so I pushed the big button and started over. During the re-start my Western Digital external HD made some unusual noises, as in click-click, click-click, several times. It's the same noise it normally makes once when I shut down the pooter. Sounds like it wants to start up but can't. When the boot-up completed and I clicked on My Computer, Windows did not recognize the external. Tried a couple more re-starts, same thing. Can't run the WD diagnostics because it can't detect the HD. I've had this HD since July 2007 and this has not happened before. I had moved my entire CFS2 and my previous FS2002 install over to the external to make room for FS9 on my internal HD. Any comments or suggestions would be welcome, before I contact WD.
