That 'melody' you hear is an indication that your HD is fried. Sorry, but time for a new one... Put it in the freezer overnight and you might get it working long enough to transfer 'some' info to a new drive,,, but not likely in this case. good luck :-)

It might be fixed, but it's not worth it.
These damages, wich make not only bad sectors but make the winchester completely unusable are so fatal damages that cost more than even the price you bought it. So just buy a new one.
