I came home from work to find that my HDD 1TB WD Green Caviar making a clicking sound after boot, this is the drive for storing my files, I am able to boot into my PC normally using the main HDD, but the WD Green drive is not able to load in MY Computer, it freezes if I double click the letter drive shown, but my hard drive name is not shown, only the drive letter. I also cant access Disk Management to check the HDD status, could this be a problem regarding the platter head crashing? Some suggested that freezing the hard drive might work, but could anyone vouch for this? I don't want to make it worst. Please help me, I need those files inside as I didnt make any backups. Thanks
