UPDATE 2: After leaving the HDD plugged in for about 20 minutes, the clicking noises have gone away and it sounds like the platter is spinning, and I feel the vibrations when I rest my hand on it. I am not going to unplug it now since I am worried it may corrupt, but unfortunately there are still no signs of my HDD being recognized in Windows.

UPDATE: Watch the first minute of that video LOL. It turns out I had plugged it into an outlet at my house that can be switched on and off and it was off before. Now that I turned it on I hear the same repetitive clicking coming from the drive and it still shows no signs of being recognized by Windows.

Hi guys. I have a three-way IDE 2.5,3.5, and 5.25 and SATA adapter which converts one HDD with any of those ends into USB 2.0.This is it.

The IDE HDD was used on my old computer and has a Windows XP format on the first partition of 120 GB. Ask if you need any more info. And thanks a bunch.
