Earlier today it seemed like my 1TB external harddrive had died. Wouldn't respond when I connected it to a computer, tried all three of my computers without luck. I figured it was dead as I was sure I heard a clicking noise. Upon trying to connect it to a computer it would just hang the whole system, and it wouldn't even show up. Tried doing a chkdsk, took 10 min without anything happening so I thought it had hanged that too. So I started looking for ways of recovering the data. After being mad about this for 5 hours, + trying several different disk recovery programs(all shitty), I randomly try a chkdsk again. After 40 minutes it found out the file type on the drive, and 10 minutes later it fixed the whole drive. Said it had a lot of errors with the fat table etc etc. I guess I'm too impatient -.-

Of course I'm happy that it works again, but what I don't like is that I don't know what caused it, that I wasted so much time because I was impatient and that I don't know whether or not it's stable now. Half filled up so it would suck losing it. Took a backup of important files now though. I have a test tomorrow, but I ended up doing this instead. Oh well.
