clicking hard drive....

hey all...so a while back I transferred all my old junk onto a USB hard drive, it was a used hard drive I bought and stick into an external enclosure. well it's making a -click click- werrr -click click- werrr kinda sound when I plug it in to power and connecting a USB cord I get no prompt to copy files etc.

I haven't done anything yet, but I wonder what my chances are that the drive is messed up or maybe the enclosure ?

anyone know a good place to take it in Seattle for a fix...I can drop it at RE-PC on my way home from work or take it to geek squad this weekend. but no idea who else.

anyone ever try to do their own wrenching inside a hard drive ? I've read about modding a HDD case, for a plexiglas window, by using shower steam to remove all dust in the bathroom and doing the work in there.

thanks !
