How to fix beeping external hard drive. Full Repair Guide.
Small external hard drives can have the issue of beeping when they are plugged in instead of working properly and showing up on the computer. It is a classic problem that effects smaller drives especially. The beeping issue is usually caused by the heads being stuck on the platter of the drive. Because the smaller drives have a smaller and less powerful motor, it is more common for the heads to get stuck if the heads do not park properly when the drive is disconnected.
