I have two hard drives. One is my windows / program drive, where as the other is my bulk storage. Today my storage drive disappeared from my computer, did not show up in device manager. I opened the computer case up and swapped out cables to see if that fixed the problem and it didn't. I listened closely to the drive while running and I can hear is spin up fast, then it clicks, then it slows down, and repeats. Is this drive dead? If so, is there any way I can retrieve information off of it? I have had this drive for about a year and a half now. I am running windows 7. Any advice? Thanks in advance for your help.
