My environment was so clean the hard drive actually enjoyed getting some fresh air lol. I fixed the problem and backed up all my stuff right away. Only thing that sucks is I had an 80gig hard drive laying around and since my problem hard drive was the only one in my pc at the time I had to load windows on the 80 gig to fix the 500gb problem drive meaning windows doesn't work on the 500gb like it did but I have all my files which i'm very happy about. Also just to clarify I did not use the method in this thread because I didn't have the time to get all the materials I used the FW-FXR Seagate Barracuda firmware fix kit worked like a charm.

Hey guys, so the other day I turned my pc on and I got this message" Reboot and select proper boot device" I tried restarting a few times and nothing. I checked the bios and my drive did not show up. I figured something was wrong with the drive so just to make sure I bought an external hard drive enclosure plugged it into another computer and nothing happens as far as the pc recognizing the drive. When I turn it on it starts spinning and at about 12-13 seconds you will hear it makes a "err" noise. I recorded it so you guys can take a listen maybe you have heard it before. The noise in the beginning is me just placing my camera on the enclosure. Any help would be very much appreciated. For anyone who has had the firmware problem with their seagate barracuda 7200.11 500gb does mine sound similar to yours? My drive does not make any clicking sounds it keeps spinning. I opened up the drive in a clean environment and nothing looks out of place nothing is scratched I also didn't power it on without the cover on it ect.
