Novice Newb Techie Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 3	Fantom Drives USB 2.0 Titanium Hard Drive I was working in iTunes when I heard a loud CLICK and the power light on my external hard drive started flashing red and blue. When I try to access the drive I get an error message; "the drive is unavailable..." Any ideas or advice?

if the hard drive is dead, you can send it to data recovery centers for a price.
