i updated the firmware already, but still the drive is giving me problems. i can access the drive, but when i want to copy out my data, it just hangs..i can see from the LED indicator that it keeps on reading only, but no response at all. any hope on saving it?

how do i use seatools to repair the drive? now it detects the drive in windows, but i cant even open any hard disk related programs, like seatools or acronis. it's just hangs at the start, saying detecting drives. cant even copy anything from the hard disk. what should i do now?
