I connected the drive to my i7 PC and same thing, bios does not see it and getting the beep noise which is coming from the drive and not from computer speaker. I was watching youtube videos about the armature not in home position and how to fix that and also there was a few on putting the hard drive in the freezer for a few hours. I will probley try the dos boot cd and if that does not work I will take the drive apart, have 2 dragster USB externals that are out of war rent and making click noises, they are totally useless, cannot access them so will perform surgery on them as well.
