Do you have the cd for either vista, xp or the operating system you
intend to put on the drive, and is your pc setup to read the cd drive
first? Either way insert the cd if your drive does not have a OS on it
already then the cd shouls automatically run, if it already has an OS
on it then you will have to boot from cd first,
turn on the pc hit delete on the keyboard a menu will pop up
use your arrow keys go to advanced BIOS features go down to where it
says first boot device hit enter choose cdrom then go to the second and
change that to hard drive
then hit f10 on the keyboard and the type y for yes to save then exit the screen
When the pc starts to boot up again it will show the cdrom booting up
first hit any key to boot from the device will show up also tap a key
on the keyboard and it will start running from the cd, follow the
instructions on the screen when they come up and go from there,
Now if you are unable to get into the BIOS screen but you already have
an OS on the pc then insert the cd in the pc and go to my computer and
open the cd or let it automatically start up if you just inserted the
cd. Then when it prompts you to choose to format.
Does you drive make any sounds like these?
If yes you have a mechanical problem and you should get a specialist to work on it.
If not - try to remove the drive from the enclosure and connect it directly to the computer to recover your files.

If yes you have a mechanical problem and you should get a specialist to work on it.
If not - possibly there's not enough power from or PSU or something's wrong with the cables.
if so you can check it using a hard drive diagnostics tool http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=287#wdc
If its a hardware problem you can try replacing the logic board. You can get one on ebay or you can get one off of another working hard drive (hard drive must be of the same make/model).
download and install R-studio ntfs this run r-studio ntfs then locate drive in screen then scan drive It will take awhile to scan once scanned you may open the scanned drive let it search for all files to be recovered then just place a tick by the files or folders to be recovered then click recover then select destination folder then click the appropiat button and wait for allfiles or folders to be recovered.
I would suggest the external casing of the harddisk that contains its power supply is busted, so you need to change the casing or remive the harddisk from the casing and connect in inside
What type of external drive do you have and what are you using to perform the synchronization? What type of sync schedule are you on? Is it time based, or upon connection or other activity? Have you change your folder arrangement or relocated the pictures on the source drive?
try removing the hard drive from the external enclosure and connecting it to your pc, this way you should be able to retrieve the files from the drive and then reformatting it may fix it and allow you to put it back in the external enclosure.
In some cases an IDE connector is added to RAID Hard Drives or Industrial grade desktop computer drivers.. it's a backwards compatibility measure in case of failure.
Other driver may also include an IDE power source too..
Those IDE connections are also known as (PATA) or Parallel.
WARNING Before you
start troubleshooting remember that you are dealing with electricity that can
KILL. http://www.kitchentablecomputers.com/static.php
- rules
Only work inside the computer case when the power has been
switched off and disconnected. Never open the power source.
Some of the below steps
recommend removing physical parts within the computer.
While in the computer it is
highly recommend that you be aware of ESD and its potential hazards
Test all leads that attach to your hard drive power and data
cables IDE ,SATA
the leads from your
MOTHERBOARD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE
make sure they have a secure dust free connections and are not faulty or
just replace them they could be faulty
Make sure all leads that
are attached to your dvd \ cd floppy drives have secure connections and are not
faulty or just replace them they could be faulty.
Computers need power and
data to travel through every working device to continue its cycle and have an
end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error.
Even something as small as
a faulty electrical or fan lead can cause you problems
Motherboard and a Hard Drive any leads between them will
fail before your motherboard or your hard drive if its a flat ribbon 40 pin
type IDE replace it this will be the first to fail.
Check all electrical power input and extensions
make sure they are securely seated even the cd/dvd floppy drives need to have
current go through make sure these drives are working Could be a problem with the Hard Drive or the Hard drives

..as i know when HDD start beeping ( internal or portable ) that indicate problem with the Hard Drive (HDD)..so nothing you can do it by your self ....if the HDD is under warranty from factory you may take it to the store that you buy or nearest Western Digital distributor to claim the warranty...but if it doesn't in warranty..that's mean a problem why?because if HDD start beeping like you have, the possibility to make it work again is almost impossible that mean you maybe lost the data that you save in this HDD..
