Hello
I connect my external HDD to the PC yesterday. I had to wait like 1 minute to show up in windows. When I tried to open any folders its just loading and nothin else. Sometimes I can open like 2 folders but then I cant copy anything to desktop etc.


Also I tried to open my HDD CAREFULLY to see if head is stuck and I found that head is not in "park" position so I moved to its "parked" position. but in this position its making beep sound like head is stuck.

and also yesterday I was able to moved some files from my HDD to desktop.... it took longer time but I dont know where is a problem..


Please anyone know where is a problem and what to do?

Thank you.

Do you not have backups of these files?
Hardware issues, and this most likely is, cannot be fixed using software means. I would suggest not running the drive any further, to preserve it as much as possible, and sending it out for repair & recovery.
