Hi Jerry1keer,
You have done pretty good job, trying to troubleshoot the problem. I strongly recommend you to try the drive on another PC and with another USB cable. Do you have valuable data on the drive? Are there any noises coming from the drive and are there any LEDs that should be on when the drive is connected? Is the drive under warranty?
Hope this helps

I have tried with another data cable and also with another pc but I get the same noise and t shows me the led light but the I hear the noise again the light also gone. I hear noises from the drive yes. But the drive is not under warranty. Do you maybe know how to solve this problem?

Yes the noise is like tac tac tac when the led light goes off. But when the light shows back then it drives normally but nothing is showing up. I have important data in my drive that's why i'm looking for help. You say something about booting from a Linux Live CD. How can I do that. And will it works because the drive is not showing up.

You should search online for some version of Linux Live CD. They are free. Download it and do a bootable USB drive. There should be instructions on the Download page. Once the USB is ready, enter BIOS and change the Boot order, putting USB in first place. Restart again and plug the USB. The PC will boot into Linux. No installation is needed. Try accessing the drive.
I hope you will get your data back! If you cannot access the data, boot back in Windows and search for a data recovery software or a data recovery company.
