Probably overheated the drive and it made the sound as it seized up. Seeing as you didn't use it for a while, it was cooled enough for it to go again. It may do that again eventually.

-Is (was) the drive 7200RPM? If so, it could have overheated and the disk surface degraded from excess heat. I have seen many hard drives with the surface of the platter a beautiful hue of blue from e ... |

I came across some sites that may help explain these problems. Apparently a board swap does not work. The information is usually still there, but the G-list is damaged. What is the G-list? Too lengthy ... |

If the 45GB drive is the only drive being used, does it still spin up?
Even if it does, you may still be able to swap the controller board and have it working properly again. You may have fried anoth ... |

For a server, I would go with U320 SCSI drives from Seagate. The U160's are pretty solid in my experience.

Not sure but maybe the external enclosure took the hit and not the drive?
Do other drives work in the enclosure still?
Tried the drive directly hooked up to the motherboard?
