Clucking Sound of XPS M1530 hard drive

I tried to search for this problem in the forum and only stumbled on old posts, the most recent is somewhere in 2007. It seems that no agency is facing this problem in 2008.

I am facing this problem now with my new XPS M1530, which is less than 1 month old. He just started 4 days ago.

No error detected when I tested it. Even in safe mode for a few hours, it was not all his "cot". I have nothing in there that I can't do anything much in SafeMode in any case.
 
When I used it, it will come by surprise, no warning or anything. It came when he wanted to. That is why I cannot give you the exact scenario or anything which trigger.

I suspect it's from the hard disk, I contacted support and they ask me to continue to exercise oversight. Sigh...

Someone has an idea of what's going on with that? It seems no this problem for a long time, judging by this forum, I am facing this problem now.

Hope to hear something about this soon. Thank you.

    I have a laptop Dell XPS M1530 age of 5 year.

    IAM assuming that the maximum height of the HARD drive Bay is 9.5 mm...

    Can I put a 7mm HARD drive in this Bay?

    Kindly help!

    Hey Osprey4, thanks for your help.

    I realized that I wasn't dragging hybrid HARD drive in the correct position, I had to keep a little high, and he fell just in place in the Bay with a single click...

    The HDD (HDD, or hybrid) works very well, and I definitely see improvements in the performance and startup time!

  • XPS 420 - HARD drive failed, performing a clean install of Vista on the new HARD drive.

    Hey everybody,

    My on my XPS 420 HARD drive failed and I'm trying to reinstall Vista using the disc that came with my machine back when I bought it.

    I bought a new WD10EZEXAZ (1 TB Serial ATA HDD), he rose in the same dwelling as my old HDD (ST3750630AS * Barracuda 7200.11*). I start the PC and goto Setup, it recognizes the HARD drive in the blue menu.

    Then I boot with the CD of Vista that came with my system. I proceed as indicated through the following url:

    Clean install of Vista

    After its copied files, expanded the files, installed features, updates installed... it goes to "Complete Installation" and throws an error message: "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    I tried a few things I've seen posted on the internet, including trying to run msoobe.exe via command line. When I did, it allows me to Setup user... but finally I get sent to this message of error or another telling me I have to reinstall Windows.

    I read else where some hard disks may not compatible with the Dell disk provides with my OEM machine. If this is the case, can someone advise? I really didn't want to spend $100 one another on a Windows 7 disc, but I feel like this may be my only option... but even in this case, I'm not so sure this will work or the other.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Tony

    UPDATE *.
    Did some more research, I discovered my new drive HARD is an advanced HDD format... not sure if it has nothing to do with my problems (by www.wdc.com/advformat Vista should not need to perform the work before the OS being installed), but thought I would mention it.

    Thanks again for any help.

    ****************

    Seems that I found the solution to my problem.

    Problem has been fixed by going into the BIOS and change the Mode of Port SATA to IDE/native/AHCI native. After that, the installation worked without any problems. Seems that Windows Setup did not like the port mode is set to RAID.

    Just thought I would post back everybody incase has had the same problem.

  • My Dell XPS 8300 hard drive fails? Intel Rapid Storage detects the error when starting upwards.

    My computer (dell xps 8300) has recently frozen and when it restarts it scored one of my RAID 0 hard drives as being a mistake. Surprisingly, my computer still works as always and after an investigation, I traced the gel to vuze trying to check a file after he was already down. I deleted the files causing the freeze and have not yet encountered any more freezing problems. But I'm still very worried, so I ran a disk check, who quickly said the disc is clean, and I also ran tests HD (Long & short) dell support center several times and they always say that readers are working properly. Today, I ran a checkdisk windows another who had a lot more time but seem to come clean. But to restart the computer disk was marked later once again as being a mistake. So I ran the tests of short and long and difficult road dell support center, once again, and the sound still saying everything is working properly. I then decided to try to start some other diagnostics of hard disk: seagate seatools and rescuer of Western Digital. The player has passed the tests of the Seatool, but almost immediately failed the tests of rescuer WD giving the error that there are too many bad sectors. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

    Lack of an operating system is the message you get when in fact there is a properly peripheral storage seen by your BIOS, but it is not a valid partition with a valid boot sector table.

    I fear that you may have installed the operating system on a RAID-0 configuration and only now try to start from one half of the band?  Yes, you can WD 500 GB RAID-0 an and a 1 TB Seagate together.  It would be foolish (same capacity as a single player, but all the falls of RAID-0) but the computer doesn't know any better.

    The RAID configuration (breaking apart the RAID) must arrive before the installation of the o/s.  The RAID/mobo card is one of the early stages of the process, he takes these 2 physical disks and mounted as a storage to the motherboard, allowing it to boot from it etc.

    No matter what is happening currently, my advice would be to remove the RAID from the system discs.  You don't want a broken drive / failure connected, even if you do not use it because the computer will continue to warn / complain the RAID broke, the startup BIOS will be keep showing you a disc is seen mistakes SMART, and finally the failed drive can degrade to the point it actually damage something.

  • Satellite L755: What is the sound plinking from my HARD drive?

    I just bought the L755 and had only 3 days. It has a weird plinking from the HD. There isn't any rhythm to it, it's very random. Any ideas?

    Hello

    One of my friends has a laptop and the HARD drive makes a similar sound at any time.
    It s not always, but it happens sometimes, I guess the HARD drive head that moves in the economy position could make such sound.

    As far as I know the HARD drive works fine, but I would still recommend to back up data in case something goes wrong with the HARD drive

  • No sound after installing new hard drive

    I recently installed a new hard drive for windows XP and I installed all the updates of windows updates. I plugged in an Altec speaker system exactly as I did before, but I can't not all sounds.

    When I click on "Sounds and Audio devices" in the Control Panel, I see "No Audio device".

    I tried all the troubleshooting options. I think I need to download new audio drivers, but I can't figure out how to do this.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated!

    There could be a possibility that you may still need to download additional software.
     
    Perhaps, your motherboard has audio drivers available at their homesite or perhaps your sound card as well.
     
    However, if you have a brand system / pc, and then click on his homesite and look for the model number for the available downloads and updates.

  • Need to replace XPS 8100 hard drive to confirm SATA interfaces

    Hello I hope that helps you with my request of the cabin. My older Desktop Dell XPS 8100 has an internal hard drive.
    I found a new WD hard drive which could be the right one for my PC - WD Blue 1 TB Desktop disk hard - 3.5 inches - WD10EZEX 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 7200 tr / MIN Office 3.5 inch HDD 7200 RPM / MIN SATA 6 Gb/s 64 MB Cache
    The Studio XPS 8100 has two bays for hard disks 3.5 ". It has four SATA 2.0 ports (1.5Gbps/3.0Gbps). Can you please confirm that the [SATA 6.Gbs] proposed WD drive is backward compatible with SATA 2.0. ?

    I really don't understand if the new WD10EZEX 1 TB, SATA 6 Gb/s, is compatible with the Dell XPS 8100 that currently has a no work Samsung HD 103SJ SATA 3.00.

    Thank you

  • XPS 8700 Hard Drive failure - after less than TWO WEEKS

    I'm a little frustrated.  I recently ordered a new Dell and XPS 8700 office.  Everything seems to work well.  Then yesterday I walked away from my office for 5 minutes, and when I came back, I got a screen saying my computer could no longer starts.  After spending some time on the phone, we confirmed what I already suspected, that my hard drive has failed.  This was after less than two weeks!  Is this a common problem with the recent Dells?  I am certainly not happy having to wait several days understood of the technology that will be (according to the support person) that I spoke) an appointment to install a new hard drive.  I'm more frustrated that I'll lose data, installed applications and settings that I have spent the last two weeks on.  I assumed that if I had to look on the bright side of things, it wasn't months or years of work that was lost, but I fear that the replacement of the HDD will suffer the same fate on the road, making me lose a lot more work.  Besides than to spend the money to set up a backup system, how to avoid this problem in the future?  And what is the level of reliability of hard disks installed in the 8700 s XPS?

    Dell uses a variety of brands of hard drive of their computer. HGST, WD, Seagate and Toshiba are trademarks used. Your next hard drive could be one of those, there is a chance it will be different than what you have now. As with all hard drives, they will be eventually. some quickly, other overtime. I wouldn't worry about replacement drive failure. If so, check and see if it was the same as the previous disc.

  • XPS M1530 optical drive is more read

    The optical drive on my XPS M1530 does not read discs - CD, DVD, records of program, etc.  I ran the diagnostics on the drive and he always tells me that the disc has no data on this subject - regardless of the type of disc that I load in the player, including the original diskettes that came with the laptop.  Any suggestions?


  • Kill the rpt Gen5 XPS SATA hard drives

    Hello, on my Dell XPS Gen5 (2 GB-DDR-RAM, SATA RAID; 3, 2D-Pentium), currently not working NOT in RAID mode (!), I still explode every new hard drive, I buy. More recently, my Samsung HD501LJ (500 GB SATA) died on me. After a short period of time after installation (about 3-4 weeks), I begin to hear these HD-'clicks' in which my system hangs for a few seconds. It is getting worse. A few days later, the accident is over.
    Just before this happened, I discovered a few SMART events (once more; the HD is just 3-4 weeks; and it is the same with some other new HDs I installed recently).

    There is no problem of virus/spyware I checked (ZoneAlarm IS 7; SpySweeper 5.5).

    Someone at - it an idea what could be the cause here?

    Thanks in advance,
    Arnoud

  • XPS 8700 hard drive not recognized

    My new 8700 XPS desktop computer will not recognize additional hard drives that I am trying to install.  I know there have been several discussions on exactly this topic and tried unsuccessfully suggested changes (details below).  A few basics - my BIOS revision A07 (as dated 13/03/2014) and OS is W8.1.

    Adding disk hard SATA cable is a small HDD (250 GB) that I used in my old computer for the holding of the backup files. He's definitely working.

    I installed and then used work around this forum - go into the BIOS, change the Boot Mode safe "Custom" then change Secure Boot to "disabled ' then F10 to save and exit.  Device Manager displays the two hard drives, but the added disk does NOT appear in the Windows File Explorer. I tried several SATA connectors on the motherboard and try to put the 'Legacy' Boot, then returns to "UEFI" when the computer complains.

    All to nothing does not.  Ideas and I don't want to live with a new computer that will let me add more readers!  Help!

    Just has been disconnected from the Chat with Technical Support - problem seems to be resolved.  The 'new' drive was in the Device Manager and present as a "foreign" drive  Product support (PS) right click on the drive and did a "import as new disk" (or something like that) and... pow!  I got my drive appears.  More details later if anyone is interested.  Me - I'm going to get fresh coffee and enjoy my new computer for a bit.

  • Satellite A200 - Crackle sound comes from the HARD drive

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A200. When I start my laptop the patter comes from the hard drive.
    Someone knows something about it?

    Thank you

    In my view there s nothing wrong with your HARD drive.
    My drive HARD click every time while accessing data on the laptop and everything run ok for 3 years.

    But that doesn t mean that there is no hardware problem with your HARD drive. Usually it's not easy to tell when a HARD drive wound begins to malfunction. My first HARD drive died after 6 years of use. But the other HARD drive died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by the warranty.

    Finally, I would recommend backup your data always on an external HARD disk to prevent data damage.

    Good bye

  • Dell XPS 410 HARD drive has been reformatted accidentally.

    HARD drive has been reformatted accidentally. I'm not interested in the stored data, I want to just go back to the factory settings.  Operating system is Vista.

    Thanks for any advice.

    You will need the recovery media you do when you received the system - attach the flash drive or insert the first disk in the backup media, power and press F12.  Start since the media and follow the prompts to reload the factory software image.

    If you do not prepare a media defined in advance, you will need to contact the customer service Dell to buy a game now - they are in fact not able to provide Windows Vista at this stage.

  • The Dell Xps desktop hard drive replacement

    Connect the SSD on the white slot (SATA 0) and the other hard disk on the blue slot (SATA1).

    in my XPS 8300, it's SATA III (6 GB/s) and two black holes were SATA II (3 GB/s).
