@ElectricSheep: Malfunctioning USB bridge however doesn't explain the click noises the drive produces.
It's dying, and you better get your data of it as quickly as you can. If you really wanna know what is happening: Remove the drive from enclosure and hook it up to a internal PATA/SATA interface. Then load up some tool that can query the SMART status from the drive. This should tell you what exactly is going wrong there. Greets, liquid EDIT: Even if you do not want to query SMART you should hook it up internally anyway. Just to avoid USB being a bottleneck. The longer it takes to transfer the files the higher is the possibility of the drive failing completly... and that's what you don't want at all. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
