Hey, someone I know dropped one of my external hard drives. Now it doesn't work. My back-up of the movie footage stored in there crashed as well recently (a PC -- won't even power on). The external hard drive contained all of the footage from my first indie feature film "Nowhere Johnny" (which is now available to watch here: NOWHERE JOHNNY on INIDEREIGN ) and losing the footage sucks because it's my first serious indie feature, now all the original footage is gone, and I want it back.
So when I plug in the external hard drive, at times makes a clicking noise and it doesn't even show up on my Mac Mini. The power light is on though. Other times, there is no noise and this message shows up on my Mac: "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer." It pops up at least twice.
Is the footage gone forever? If not, how do I get it back?
