This thing isn't even 6 months old which is good because im still under warranty but bad because I had over 400 gigs of multimedia files, There is a small portion I MUST get! the rest I can get again. Anyways, it's not really a crash but just a bad sector problem. a couple of my files were written over bad sectors and when I tired reading them I found this out. I ran chckdsk or whatever it's called in windows and i let it run over night. Next day my pc is loaded waiting for me to use it. I noticed the pc was strangly slow and constantly freezing, and I noticed that my 750gig HD wasn't showing up, so I figured it might have been a bad boot or something. So I turned off the comp, unplugged it for 10 seconds and turned it back on. And what do you know? The 750Gig is making a clicking noise and I can't get passed the computer load screen because the bios is trying to detect the HDD but the HDD has some sort of bad sector or something in the beginning and it's having troubles with that so it never really gets started. After a bit of waiting the bios skips the hdd and continues the normal boot but the 750 gig continues to click.. it just doesnt seem to get past a certain area on the disk i assume and it doesnt get detected by anything. Help?
