Ok so I have a 500GB WD "Blue Scorpion" HDD that I'm trying to access via
USB, when I boot up my CentOS laptop the lights on the external USB casing
light up...and I can hear the drive making noise, but after a few minutes I
hear an abrupt "click" and the drive doesn't do anything. I can SEE it in
the Disk Utility in CentOS,...I even tried to format it from there as well
and the symptoms are still the same. The lights come on...it looks like its
about to do something...and then the loud click and nothing happens. Can
anyone volunteer some advice as to where I would look for troubleshooting
this issue? I really am not interested in what's on it. I just want to
re-format it and (possibly) use it for storage. I have tried using various
toosl to try and wipe this drive but nothing seems to work...(SystemRescue
CD....D.B.A.N.......PartImage....Hiram's BootCD....) Any help or advice
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance
EGO II
