What brand HDD is it. HDD are prone to failure, If you can get it started again I recomend that you back up all your save data and reformat the drive. If you continue to experience problems I would exchange the HDD for a new one.

What do you mean by this? You cant access it anymore. Or you can not return it to the store you purchased it from. If mean you cant access the drive anymore, unfortunatlly you have lose all your data and it would be extreamly hard to retrive.I would recomend you return it to the store and get a replacment.. HDD usally come with a good length warranty that is 1-3 or even sometimes a lifetime warranty.
