I wanted to see if I could use some tools on my linux machine to recover the data, so I plugged...

How can.
That make noise tends to have serious problems and not last long after the noises begin.

I've got a Asus u36sd and there seems to be small "chirping" noises coming from the left air vents. They are only audible when very quiet and about the same noise level as the harddrive. Can anyone confirm if this is normal and if it is infact coming ...

My external hard drive isn't being recognised by the laptop. It is just making beeping noises. Is there anything I can do to get it to work, and if not, who should I send it off to, and how much can I expect it to cost?

Could be any of several causes:
Harddrive dead
not enough power (try with laptop plugged into mains - not on battery power)
faulty cable
faulty usb port
Is it making the same noise as in this youtube.

My Samsung hard drive is making some weird noises. Sometimes, the noise stops but then starts again within a few minutes. It's warranty is out of date, so I am worried that the noise may indicate an imminent failure.
Any help would be appreciated.

You'll.
Is correct, what is the noise? Have you tested it with a smart test..?
Remember though, SMART don't have somewhere to put backups, go buy a new harddrive and clone everything onto that.

Typically, the CD is set to ID = 3 and the boot drive to ID = 0 (though 1 or 2 will work fine) .
If the IIvx has a CD drive, you need to make sure the drive is numbered/ identified differently than the CD .

Is your PC too noisy? Tried everything from low noise fans to silent PSUs and quiet hard drives and it's still not good enough? How about a foam kit to cover the inside of your case as well!

It didn't affect the HDD noise, though with Acrylic.
It made a noticeable difference in reducing the fan noise (or at least 'bouncing' it out the back of the case, instead of the front).
And stuck in in my case.

Does deselecting the external drive from the list of things to be backed up make this noise go away accessed in a way that causes the noise that you are hearing.
