Hey folks, hoping someone can help me out here.
So a couple of weeks ago my hard disk started flashing (blue light) and making a ticking sound. I looked it up and transpires that the arm was stuck. The advice was to carefully open it up and adjust the arm back to the reset position.
I did this and now when I plug it in, it thinks for a while then comes up as 'E drive' next to my C drive, instead of SAMSUNG HARD DISK in 'Devices and Removable Storage' where it used to. When I click on it it informs me that it is 0gb, and needs formatting but I dare not touch it, as I have many fond memories in pictures and files etc. Really hoping someone can help!
