I will say this once again. Last time.
I told you to have someone listen to the noise for a reason. If it was the drive the repeating of turning on and off of the drive would have KILLED IT. Dead. No chance for recovery at all.
You kept on insisting that you had to hook it up to a external source to find out if it was the drive. I was trying to save you if it was. If it turned out to be the drive and you killed it with this repeated on/off you would have come back asking how to get data off of a dead drive instead.
Do you understand now why i said what i said? There was no mis-communication on my part. I was trying to save your drive if it was dying for you to get data off of it. You insisted on trying to destroy it more.
Use Safe Mode with networking. I bet you will find your answers then...
