I have been using this 1TB external drive for almost a year. Suddenly it bacame inaccesible. The drive is detected by the OS (Win 7 x64bit). And it is asking to format the drive to use. I have some important files in it. I can hear clicking noise from the drive. I used Gsmart control to test the drive. i had attached the results herewith. It showed Current Pending Sector RAW value is 169. I read it is a bad thing on net. Can i able to recover the data?? Please guide me.
