So I don't know what caused this. The hard drive is located well in my desk where nothing can possibly hit it, but yesterday all of a sudden it started freezing up, getting this skipping sound. I tried shutting it off, but I think that just made the problem permanent. Now everytime I start it up the same skipping sound occurs and none of my computers can even recognize it.
It think it's done. But, is there any hope for it?
