Harddrive FAILURE!

mwahsun · 04-14-2006, 07:07 PM

I already knew my harddrive was in bad shape after all the noise and I just purchased a new one and it is on the way. Anyways I tried starting up my computer this morning and when I tried nothing was loading up on the screen, and my floppy drive (boot disk) keeps making noise. Supposing that it was my C drive failure, I put the plugs back in the D drive to make that my primary partition, soon to know my D drive also makes a noise stating that they both have some problems. After, I unplugged everything off my hardware to make sure it wasn't anything else that was disrupting my startup but something showed up on screen regarding a harddrive. I plugged my C drive back in giving it another try and it made this weird beeping noise but it started working again loading everything up. So is my harddrive about to die or can it be something else? I'm very conscientious about my computer and I am wondering if it can be something else besides the harddrive. I am pretty sure that it is the harddrive only though. Any suggestions/comments?

User error? Might have been a cable not plugged in all the way. Could be many things. Is it still making the weird noises? If so backup immeditely.

I'm sorry to hear about your hard drive issues. I have been thinking myself of trying out these guys http://www.bytefortress.net I have had many hard drive failures and viruses, and it seems like a good choice if someone has important information they can't loose (Like me).

...assuming they work as well as advertised.

Maybe a mobo issue or something with the bios. Is the harddrive making any noise at all when starting?
