Mike, if the Hdd is clunking it may be because the platters are not spinning. I have, on several occasions, been able to coax the platters in to spinning by taking the drive out and rapidly twisting it, relying on the inertia of the platters to move past the sticky point.
FWIW I keep 2 copies of every image I have, one on my local machine and one on an external drive.
