January 9, 200620 yr hi, im having problems with my external hard drive. it will not power up, then i plug it in and turn it on all i hear is a ticking sound. its maxtor hard drive

If so return it, if not; open the external housing and take out the drive to test it inside a normal computer (unless it’s a 2.5", then you need to buy an adaptor from 2.5" to 3.5").Good luck

How old is it, do you have guarantee for this disk?
