Most likely stiction. Unless it was dropped then MAYBE motor spindle, but i would say 9/10 stiction. Very common. Heads did not park and are stuck to platters.

Requires professional service.

Sometimes if drive isn't getting enough power (USB) you can get some strange symptoms.

Well champ .
In your Case the Head of the hdd is stuck on the platter .you need to give it to a DR professional so that he can open the hdd in a Clean Room and try and recover your data .In india this kind of Dr would Be Rs :18750/- Only
