First, I suggest you take this message to the tech support forum because thats where it belongs.

Second, your drive is bad. The clunk you are hearing is likely either a severe head crash or a lovked up spindle motor trying to work itself free. If the drive is two years old then you won;t be RMA'ing it to anyone unless it is still under warranty. Some of the WDSE drives (like the one you have) only came with a 1 year warranty, whereas others came with a 3 year, so call WD and check out whether your still covered. As for getting your data off the disk...... good luck.
