External HD issues

My external hard drive has more issues than a 15 year old chick. Well..only 1 problem and theres not blood running down it's leg.

When i turn it on it says that the drive is not ready check to see if door is open and all that crap. Did it die? This thing topped off and its 250gb i really would like to get all that data.

THAAANX

This is just like when the ATM machine asks you to feed it a stray cat.

If you blow into it like the old NES maybe it will work again.

It's one of these.

Now the messege doesnt pop up but still doesnt recognize it. The little light flashes between dark orange and light orange every few min.

ironically, im having the same problem with my Seagate 250 gb external.
Shows up sometimes, doesnt show up most of the time. When it does read the drive, it stops functioning after 10 minutes, cant copy anything to or fro.

I'm starting to think having a backup is pointless when external HD don't last longer than your internal...
