Check cables see if it is tight. Try your hdd on a friend's PC to see if its working.

A quick update i have taken it out and tried it on another computer no luck seems that the hard drive is actually dead??

It will spin as if it is loading then it will just hang like that nothing more and if you move it it will stop untill you move it into another position sounds like the drive had died as it wont go past the spinning??
