Hey all.
I'm hearing the noise too. Have a 120GB DiamondMax Plus 9, it's about a year and a half old. It was busted about 7 months ago (although I wasn't hearing any beeps), my bios would recognise it as a Calypso but couldn't access it. I hit it a few times and it came back to life.
I woke up this morning and noticed my HDD (which is in an external case) was lying on it's side. My girlfriend told me she'd tripped on the USB cable for the case. I tried to turn it back on and that's when the crazy beeps started. I've slammed it a few times but no joy.
Is there anything else you guys can recommend besides sending it to a specialist? I have a ton of movies on the HDD, could I be reported to the MPAA if a recovery expert finds them?
