I froze my crashed external WD 500 Gig HD for a week. Today I connected it to my PC and was able to back up ALL of the data to another drive!!! SUPER WIN!!!
I like your less orthodox troubleshooting methods! I have Maxtor, I used for about a month, and my computer doesn't recognize it anymore! Says it RAW!
I have the same drive and its making the same noice, but i made a coppy of the drive, Every thing in working, I noticed the drive was failing the smart test (Mac osx Hdd test)
Yea it was in a mac, and i got a 7200 Rpm drive to replace it but im never buying wd drives, I got another one thats replacing the wd and its going to be fine i think
you know he was dying to put that screw driver on the disc...the head looked in good condition its the arm that wasnt working which can be easily replace a trip to ur computer shop a couple bucks and u keep ur data n ur hard drive runs like new..now go stick the screw driver in ur eye out of frustration.. :)
What RPM is this Drive?

think it might be the gigantic screwdriver that got stuck inside your drive case that caused it o fail but not sure
