Hi guys, ive been using this HDD for about 2 years now(i barely use it but i leave it plugged in the PC so it powers up when i use the PC), and after resuming a torrent(which was about 42 percent of a 200gb file, internet here is slow),i checked the files and then it said former volume not mounted, which confused me.Tried to repair disk and it says it has errors, and when i went to open files ( the drive is accessible, it is displayed on winexplorer), it says the files cannot be opened, volume unmounted or corruption.
Before i used check disk and it says no space for reallocation, I've reformatted the HDD again and am currently running check disk, its been 12+ hours and still running( nothing wrong here i think, its 1TB) without the hard drive "unmounting".
When i held the drive close to my ear i heard a click 3 times followed by a long scratch noise( not scratch that has problems, the head just in contact with the plates") like this,
click click click --------------------- click click click ------------------------

any help?
