random HD cut outs.

EdDx · 04-07-2007, 06:33 PM

last year or so. i had a new HD put in ( but i kept my old one ).
the story is, oneday i was playin a game then all of the sudden i hear one of my HD's turn off.

it keeps happening randomly. i think its my old one because every time i open a file off that HD it has to load first, while as the current one im using, things open instantly.

anyone know whats going on?

Have you gotten any errors? Are you sure it's not just a power saving feature you have enabled?

no errors.. i just hear like a loud click then i hear the disks inside the HD slow down to a stop. i dont know about any powersaver feature. where can i find out if i have enabled it or not?

Oh... You know telling us about these loud CLICKS can help us diagnose
