So I recently dropped my external hard drive on accident. I know I know… theres my first problem right. Well I thought there might still be a chance that it works. So I plugged it in to my computer and the light on it came on as well as the sound that the computer makes when I normally plug it in. The issue is though that it doesn’t show up on my computer anywhere. The weird thing is that I can still eject it like I normally would with the eject button… Is there anything I can do to fix it or to get my files? I have them backed up for the most part, there are only a few that I don’t have.

Also I’ve looked up other questions like this and a lot of them say there is some mysterious ticking noise coming from the harddrive but mine doesn’t have any noises coming from it. Any help would be appreciated :)
