i acciddently dropped my 1TB WD external Harddrive while it was running. I use this drive to play my wii games everything was going fine i was playing epic mickey and all of sudden the game freezes i turn off my wii and unplug the harddrive and plug it back it and i get a clicking noise. Do you think the harddrive is screwed anyway i can fix this?
If it is clicking it is most likely hosed. It may be possible to salvage some of the data on it, but the drive itself is gone.
it has illegal content on it they told me i could send it to them and get a replacement im just worried hwen tehy see all the movies and games i had on it i could get in serious trouble
