HP laptop laptop 15-ac198TU: is my normal hard drive?

I just bought my laptop and heard this noise of crackling, as similar to the video of my hard drive. Is this normal? Or is my drive defective?

Hi @ShaneJohnPaul,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I noticed your post you hear a sound of crackling with the hard disk of your laptop HP 15-ac198TU. I am pleased to see that for you!

Please, try the steps in this guide, test of hardware failures (Windows 10: 8). If these tests pass, then it is normal.

  • How am I supposed to install windows 7 on a laptop computer that is not a hard drive

    Well, I just got Windows 7 for my laptop, but it's not a hard drive. How do I get there for free?

    Hello

    · Has the operating system installed on the computer it pre-installed?

    If the operating system came pre-installed on the computer then you can contact the computer manufacturer if they provide for the free upgrade to Windows 7.

  • How to reinstall Vista (using the HP recovery disk) to my laptop HP that has a new hard drive

    The hard drive failed on my HP laptop.  I bought a new hard drive (not HP) and loaded the HP recovery disks, but a screen will appear that says it is not compatible.  Can I use this new hard drive, or should I buy a hard drive for HP?

    I looked at a few tech forums and from what I can tell, HP crashes their system you can't use hard disks of third parties.  To make a third hard drive to work (depending on the online forums), you will need to bring a technician certified in HP in order to run a utility of DMI (?) and "tattoo" the hard drive for HP use (estimated at close to $45).
    I can't find a technician certified in HP in my area and Geek Squad said that they can do it more... my laptop is now an expensive paper weight, or there at - it another option (short of spending hundreds of dollars on the purchase of a new Vista + MS Office license)?

    Hello

  • Conversion of Raid 1 configuration to 1 normal hard drive with Windows XP Professional

    I have a Dell Precision Workstation 380, which has been set up at the factory in Raid 1 with 2 Seagate 160 GB hard drives.  The operating system is Windows XP Professional.  I would like to delete the Raid 1 configuration and that the computer is a normal hard drive configuration 1.  Can someone help me with a step by step procedure to achieve this?

    Hi cbcenterplus,

    RAID 1 means that you essentially two drives separated with identical information. In order to break the RAID is simple. Start on the Intel RAID Option Rom utility (ctrl + I), replace two disks drives non-members, and then restart your computer.  The 2nd disc will receive a new drive letter, and you can get in shape by using the disk management and have extra space.

  • Y480 - laptop does not start with attached hard drive enclosure.

    My laptop started clicking and will boot LAN, so I opened it and looked at the hard drive. All seemed well, it wouldn't be fair to start. Then I removed the metal casing around it and stuck the drive in. Everything started normally. Chkdsk shows nothing wrong with the hard drive, and I'm not sure why remove the dressing would affect startup. All the thoughts/solutions?

    Blue... temporarily parts of the sponge to keep the HARD drive in place.

    and if your Y480 is still under warranty, can consult a Support technique Lenovo...

    Yes, although the effort can be called "Difficult" due to other elements

    the screws are different lengths and must therefore be ordered so that you can

    a better alternative is a product available (example) OWC

    It is a Solid State Drive. Faster, the performance of the system greatly improve
