The hard drive is most likely making a grinding and scraping noise. Think dentist drill, its painful, and thats how it feels for your drive. Sounds nasty and is stripping the magnetic coating off the platters. Immediately turn the drive off and disconnect it from your computer. Then call us. Repeated use in this state is rapidly decreasing the chances of recovery. The sooner we can start the recovery, the greater the chance of success before it totally corrupts the hard drive data platter.
Again, do not run 'software' recovery programs in this state. They cause Disk I/O read / writes, and this places increased stress on the heads, which causes errors to be written to the disk, further decreasing the chances of data recovery.
