My external HD with all my movies on it died. It took me soooooo long to get all those movies.

Did the actual drive die or just the USB part of the enclosure?

I know that sinking feeling all too well.
Last July...in fact the dubious anniversary just passed... I lost a 320gb hdd to the click of death. It had 3.5 years of notes, lyrics, tunings, reflection, unfinished songs, samples, early chronology, juvenilia & countless hours of creative work. Plus vinyl rips, obscure live bootlegs and all manner of resources. Multimedia. Ugh. Things I had been biding time & letting develop. Poof. Best laid plans laid to rest.
I was depressed for a solid 4 months, but it was an opportunity to change routine and approach. Good luck d00d.

Its the drive. I have another external HD for music and use the same enclosure. I thought that might be the issue so I swapped them and still had the issue.
The drive is making that clicking sound.

Not nearly as consequential, but the hard drive in my Xbox 360 died about a year and a half ago. The machine still worked, so I could play games and dvds, just not save anything. I lost soooo many save game files, as well as downloaded games. I got a new 500gb drive last Christmas and have since started over.
