External makes clicking sound but is fine on other mac
My friend has a MacBook Pro 13" which is basically unusable because it is so slow. I wanted to reinstall the OS to try and fix the issue.
So, I attached my external to back up all data before wiping the mac, but it wouldn't show up. I tried both ports, nothing.
I attached another of my external hard drives and the external was only clicking, I got a little worried and plugged the hard drive into my mac and it works like a charm.
None of my hard drives have shown up. What can I do? I need to do the back up in order to reinstall everything.
Thank you!
the external (in case this is important) is a 'WD My Passport Ultra'
