<p>if you can see all the files in a recovery program then the file
system is marginally corrupted.<br>
Probably means you need get a new drive and then use the recovery
program to copy from the old drive.</p>

<div dir="ltr">Thanks DM,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>no weird loud clicking or honking fortunately. I'm
familiar with DiskWarrior and StellarPheonix recovery and have
used before but my software has expired unfortunately. I'm
using Stellar right now and can see all the files but then I
click on recover...of course it sends me to the "Pay now"
page... </div>
<div>I might just have to bite the bullet and pay however, i'm
dabbling in terminal now although I know very little about it.
I'm following directions found on this <a
href="https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/235309/external-drive-does-not-mount-after-plug-off-without-eject"
moz-do-not-send="true">page</a> and seem to be making some
process. Thanks for your help. Hopefully I will resolve
sometime in the next three months or so :)</div>

<div dir="auto">If you hear it spinning but not mounting, it
could be a bad component of the drive case, such as the
power supply or the FireWire chip. FireWire drives
nowadays are fairly old, so this isn't that uncommon, and
often it doesn't affect the underlying drive. You can
resolve this by getting a different 3.5" case (they tend
to run $20-50, generally higher for FireWire),
disassembling your external drive case, and putting the
drive in the new case-- but you'll need to make sure it's
the right style for your drive (SATA II/SATA III, etc)</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"> Hopefully the problem isn't the drive
itself: if it is, you'll probably need a professional. A
symptom of this would be that you hear it click
rhythmically or if it suddenly makes loud individual
"honks". </div>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">If the problem is corruption or data errors on
the drive, a fantastic piece of software called DiskWarrior
can often help, but this will do nothing if the problem is
physical in nature. DiskWarrior has saved more drives than I
can count: it's definitely one of the best and most reliable
utilities I own.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">A data recovery expert has access to all of
these tools and would most likely be able to resolve the
issue, whatever it is, for around $200.</div>
