How can I recover from a dropped externall hard drive the data.
If I build it out of the case and connect it directly to a ws the it is read out as a floppy disk.
It does not give me a ticking sound. But it gives me the horrible sound of 'wanting-to-start-but-falls-silent'.
Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums!

If it's not recognized in the bios, you will need a data recovery specialist.
