hi
sounds like something is loose inside the drive...
what's the probability of being able to take the lid off and fix it? ie the arm might have come loose!?
thanks

Don't shake your drive!
Drives have some components inside that might sound loose, but they actually not.
Hard drives are very sensitive devices, keep that in mind.
Do not take a cover off your drive if you need your data. Recovery of previously opened drives are much more expensive.

Did you read on cover "rattle noise is normal" ?

Anyway : possibilities : zero or less.

Get out of that computer and ask for pro help.

location near york, england, uk
it's pretty rural up here - a lot of people have sheep for friends!
ok, maybe I bite the bullet and post it to some DR expert in London....

PS this is not my drive, just trying to help out a dumbass friend!
I always back up my data or email to my gmail account
