Hi!
I have an Iomega GDHDU2 1tb external harddrive, about 2,5 years old.
It has been working absolutely fine until today. I haven't used it for a while (maybe a month or so?) ad it's been standing on a table with it's cables on top of it.
Usually when I connect it to my computer it makes some sort of buzzing sound that gets a bit higher before silencing, and the computer opens up a window for me to choose what to do with the found device.
Now, it makes some sort of whizzing sound that lasts a few seconds, and then goes away, comes back, goes away and so on maybe 5-6 times. My computer doesn't find the harddrive, and I've tried in both mine and my boyfrieds computer. (mine is a laptop, windws 7 operative system, and he has a HP table computer, also windows 7)
The blue light is on, so it is working in some way, but it's just not detecable. Is there anything I can do? And if not, what would it cost to repair it somehow, and can my files be saved?
Thanks!
