My 1TB ext hd will start clicking when it's super fragmented.
The 1st time it happened, it took 12 hrs to defrag the 100GB
partition that was causing the problem.
Now I defrag the drv whenever there's a pause in Hugh's posts.
No more clicking!
BTW, it is not a boot drive.
Get Data Back is a good data recovery program & I'm sure there
are others.
Maybe a disk diagnostic program could tell you what's wrong.
Go to majorgeeks.com & check out their disk software.
Hope you have a bootable internal hd.
