usb external hard drive problem

by sweetgirl . Updated 20 years, 11 months ago

I accidentally dropped my external HD. It was about a 3 ft drop to carpet. The HD is a Buffalo. Now it is making a weird sound/music when I start it up. My computer will not recognize it. The access light stays at red and will not go to green. After a few minutes of music (trying to start up?), it just goes to idle.

Does this mean I broke it? Is there any way to fix it? Can the data inside be recovered? HELP!
