I think your drive may be failing, so if your data is valuable I wouldn't much things with it and consider going to a pro to get a proper diagnosis and quote.

Anyway, might help answering to the questions above.

When i plug in the disk there is sound of spin but after few second spin down and again same things happened 2-3 times then no sound at all, but the lights still on

thanks & best regards
