Almost certainly an indication that a disc is a failure and should be
replaced as soon as POSSIBLE.

I get 4 hard drives and would like to know how to determine who makes clicking sounds.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

1. open the case and disconnect the power cables of all readers but
C:, then run the computer for awhile. If we click, it is C: this is
dying.

2. then plug the power cable into a different drive and run it
computer for a while. If you click on, it's that you reconnected
who is dying.

3, number 2 twice more if necessary to repeat.

  • How do I know which hard drive contains the operating system in the Hp Pavilion dv7-4069wm? The upgrade.

    I think the upgrade of one of my hard drives (ea 320) in my HP Pavilion laptop dv7-4069wm for more storage.  I like to keep the drive that contains the operating system to avoid the hassle to make a copy, but I'm not sure which one that is. I have not replaced a hard drive before, and still less a double disc. Recently, I added more RAM and noticed that both hard drives looked the same. Can someone tell me how to know the difference?

  • Pavilion 17 t: how to replace a hard drive in the laptop M7H89AV model

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion 17 model t M7H89AV with i7 processor. Oem hard drive is very slow and I want to upgrade to an SSD samsumg evo 850 500 GB. I'm looking at the bottom of the case and I don't see a special slot or the area to remove to replace the drive. It seems to me that the bottom of the laptop come off in one piece. serial number [personal information deleted]. This hard drive is not replaceable?

    There are no manuals for your model. Here is a youtube video showing access hard drive on a very similar model. It's in German but it moves slowly enough so that you can follow:

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=uDAKRL86IjU

    You can see the hard drive at about 07:45 in.

    Take you top down, not the bottom. Technically, the hard drive is not extensible part of the user and security is at risk if you open it. But HP said it's OK to upgrade to an SSD as long as you don't damage in the process. If you do, you're on your own.

    I just got a new hardisk. What should I do before using it? Can someone give me instructions step by step?
    IM using Windows Xp

    In this case, shut down the PC, unplug the power cord, take anti-static precautions and install the disk drive. Turn on the PC and use disk management to partition/format-it as wish you...

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/309000

    ... NTFS file system is the best.

    To store your data, I recommend to move the My Documents folder...

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310147

    ... but you don't have to do if you want to keep some data on C: and the rest on a partition on the new disk.

    You could also start to install some programs (games or other) on the disk by making custom installations and change the drive letter.

  • How to clean the hard drive of the computer

    I need to know how to erase my hard drive to get rid of a virus

    Hello Nguyen,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    I understand you want to wipe your hard drive to remove any infection by the virus from your computer.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. When you say 'I need to wipe my hard drive to get rid of the virus', do you mean you want to remove the virus from your computer or to completely erase your hard drive by erasing all the data on it?
    2. You want to clean install a new copy of Windows on your computer after removing all your data from the hard drive?

    If you do not want to delete all your data and do not want to clean your computer of viruses, you can scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner.

    Download and run Microsoft security scanner from the link below.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    However, if you want to completely clean your computer, just remove the hard drive and pure, install a fresh copy of Windows on your hard drive, you can read the article below to do so.

    How to perform a new installation of Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/clean-install

    Important note: Perform a clean installation will mean that all your data currently on your hard disk will be permanently lost. It is strongly recommended to have all your important data saved enough on any driver external before performing one of the suggestions above.

    Hope this information is useful. Do not hesitate to write back for any further assistance with Windows, we will be happy to help you.

  • How can I move the internal hard drive containing the LR catalog to become external hard drive?

    I'm upgrading to a new computer.  With this approach, I took the hard drive 1 TB "internal" hard with my LR catalog and pictures from my old computer and hooked up as a hard drive on the new computer.   My next step is to load CC Lightroom on the internal drive of the new computer and remove the software from the old hard drive, which is now just a disk storage external photo. 

    Then, the tricky part where I need help.  How LR to recognize the existing catalog on what is now the external hard drive?

    Thank you

    As DJ says, double-click the catalog on the external hard drive.

    Or, in the menu of LR, / file/open/and navigate on the external drive.

    Whatever it is, after the opening of the catalog, you will need to go to the library, Panel folders module and 'find missing' on each top-level to tell LR you folders, move the folders on the external drive.
