Why is my drive doing this?

[Justin32]

I thought maybe the head was stuck to the platter, but i dont know what this means. What are my options in fixing this?

There are no options I would be comfortable recommending or pointing too; and if you have important data on that drive you might be better off closing it up and going to a company that can recover that data (and hope that you did not foul the platters with dust or debris).

im not even sure whats on that drive its not mine to begin with, and I highly doubt it has anything important. I was just more wondering what would cause this? Because right now i dont know what went wrong with it.

I am going to guess the controller has gone, or the ability for the controller to know the arm position.

Send it in to a recovery center like Gilware, just be aware it costs an arm and a leg.
