Any help??
This drive is making mmm mmmm noise that's all but not spinning!

Most likely - blocked head on the disc surfaces.
Less likely - engine bearing damage.
Least likely - damage to the motor winding.
And once again the status of the work register and the log from the terminal after startup.
Do you have a laminar chamber?
If not, there's nothing for us here.

99% stuck head
1% motor bearing
need to open the drive in clean room and see the location of the head first

What happened between before and "now"?
