There are no user serviceable parts inside the drive.

Opening it will just negate any chance of recovery.

You're not going to fix it by disassembling the drive.

The click's and beeps indicate the drive it damaged; there is a good chance (98%) that you have lost all of your data.

Note: By removing the cover from this drive the any remaining warranty will be void and all data will be considered lost.

Now if you still want to take it apart just to look inside, there will be one or two screws that are under the manufacturer's label that will have to be removed.

Pressing firmly, run you finger across the top of the drive until you can feel the depression where the screw head is.

Using you screw driver puncture the label and remove the screw.

Then you can pry the top cover off.

or rather than losing your data completely by lifting the cap off which could possibly destroy any chance of data recoveryhttp://www.ebay.com.au/itm/120738767650?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

You may have two or more partitions on the hard drive and they may not have been formatted.

You have to go to control panel, adminstrative tools, storage and initialize the drive. However the way it sounds, the drive might have an issue, could be the cable or the usb port

Hello,

The reason it "lost" size is due to the limitations of the FAT32 file structure. This system cannot address the entire drive because that is larger than it knows how to organize.

You can either format additional partitions(using a PC) into similar sized FAT32 drives and make the space usable by creating 4-5 drive letter or you can format all of the remaining space as NTFS using windows if you don't need the space for the PS3.

Unfortunately FAT32 simply won't support a single drive letter that large.

Hope this helps FixYa,

Please supply more details. Does it spin up? Get power? Is it detected? Was it dropped? Making noises?If you need data recovery I suggest an online data recovery service like http://FreeDataRecovery.us

Man it sounds like it just died on you out of the blue... Maybe you had a power surge or something and you didn't know it.

You can download all users manuals, drivers, and software directly from Iomega's support website. I'm posting a link below, you'll just need to select you specific model.
