I'll see what my options are in the next couple of days. It sounds like something is wrong with the arm?, the drive is making this clicking noise like it can't read the platters. I'm not fiddling with it anymore myself as I don't want to cause any damage. I'll be sure to post the details of what is going on.

Good. From what I have been reading on the data recovery sites, the noise indicates mechanical problems that can destroy data. For drives making noise the sites do not recommend trying software to recover the data; using the drive can cause more damage. (Maybe that's just trying to get business) Although, you probably knew that already.

Slick.
