Get a tool like Crystal Disk Info and run a smart test on the drive to see if it could be dying.

Is that an internal or external drive?

No matter how lo9ud this is this sounds 0 percent normal. Kinda like a phone dialing, have never heard something like this before.

It sounds like that harddrive is about to bite the dust. I'd suggest backing up any files you want to keep before you lose them.

What does Crystal Disk say about the drive? Good or bad?

You can't back up the files on the hard drive if it can't even spin up. It can't see the drive unless it is spinning, so crystal disk info is no use here. The drive is ceased from something. This means that the heads were writing data to the drive and something hit it, maybe it fell and the heads could not park themselves in time. I don't recommend this, but hit the drive on it's side on the edge of a table or something while it is trying to spin up. I heard this on a video, so don't trust me all the way on this.
Anything can work. Just decide how much, or what you would like to subject for said thing to work.

Was there any indication that the drive was dying before you transferred the BTSync folder? The drive was probably on its way out anyway, but all those read/write operations might have pushed it over the edge.

well, I'm transfering btsink stuff now, so let's hope my drive doesn't start doing this... it's failing probably.

yeah. don't take a screwdriver to it like an idiot
There is no easy way to let someone down. my advice, just find a way to work things out, and maybe it'll all turn out for the good.
