  Hello

  If you get a 'click' sound in your hard drive, I would suggest that you test and replace if necessary,

  http://www.Seagate.com/WW/v/index.jsp?locale=en-us&name=SeaTools&vgnextoid=720bd20cacdec010VgnVCM100000dd04090aRCRD

  If you do not have to replace it, there should be a recovery partition on this drive to make recovery disks and use to reinstall Vista.

  Contact the manufacturer to find out the exaxct of keys to press start to start the factory of this partition recovery.

  For a small price, you can also buy a set of recovery of them discs to reinstall Vista.

  See you soon.

• Hard Drive Click / Clack / Parking every minute (hear for yourself)

  I'm officially rename noise clickign from hard drive to a DELL TORTURE DEVICE.

  I'm literally a few days back from my brand new laptop M1530 due to this noise. It's the thing the stronger on my entire computer... in fact, the strongest sound from any computer I've owned since the dawn of time.

  BUT I can't decide if it's more or less annoying than the WHINING coming from the CPU... God, I hate dell

  in any case... Here are a few cool records the click. They were recorded with a directional microphone sitting ontop of a hard drive backwards. The constant buzz, you can hear in the background is the M1530 fan.

  clack1.wav

  clack2.wav

  clack4.wav

  clack5.wav

  In the recording, it may seem like this sound is low... but believe me... That's at least 5 x stronger than the normal drive access sounds... many times stronger than the spin-down the drive startup sound will do if Power Options (DIFFERENT of THE PARKING) turns.

  I discovered that the MAA (acoustaic management) does not work on SATA. This is in agreement with the fact that NONE of the three settings in the bios are making a difference in his hard drive (derivation, quiet, performance).

  Reference Dell will return a $1,600 on their hands, if it is not fixed soon

• External hard drive USB on Time Capsule

  Hello

  I have an external USB hard disk and plug it into the USB port of my Airport Time Capsule makes it accessible wireless (if on the sidebar of the window under the section 'sharing' I click on the Time Capsule to enter airport name next to his record 'data', I also have a folder with the name of my USB HD and I can access).

  Now the problem. I have a USB external hard drive, I can access normally connect my iMac or iBook portUSB one, but, if connected to the time Capsule... nothing happens.

  So there must be a difference in the two external hard drive. What a difference creates the problem, why and what I can do is my question.

  Can someone help me?

  So far, here is what I found to be the similarities and differences:

  The two serial ATA, 2 to, partition GUID mapped external USB hard drive.

  In disk utility, one that is visible on the Time Capsule is displayed as 'external HARD disk support' physical disk with OS X extended physical volume. One who isn't appears as physical disk 'external media' with logic extended OS X volume.

  Hi Ranmaboy,

  I understand you have two external hard drives USB that you want to connect to your airport Time Capsule via USB, but one who is not recognized by the Capsule from the airport. Given that this player connects to your iMac without problem, I would recommend that you backup all data stored on the disk, and then follow the steps here to re - format the drive using disk utility:

  Backup disks, you can use with Time Machine - Apple Support

  Format a drive connected to an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac or Time Capsule

  If you are using an AirPort Extreme 802.11ac or Time Capsule, you can connect an external drive to the USB port on these devices for use with Time Machine. Follow these steps to reformat the hard disk in the first place, it is ready for use.

  1. Connect the hard drive to a USB port on your Mac.
  2. Open disk utility.
  3. On the left side of the disk utility window, select your external drive (or one of its partitions).
  4. Click the delete or delete button on the toolbar.
  5. On the Format menu, choose Mac OS extended (journaled).
  6. Type a name for your drive, and then click clear.
  7. After that the drive is deleted, close the disk utility window.

  Once the disk has been reformatted, try to connect this back to the airport Time Capsule to see if it is now recognized.

  Have a great rest of your day!

• Equium L40 - 10Z hard drive click on stronger than habit/expected

  Is a hard drive stronger by clicking on a fault? It's not weird scraping noises or anything like that, just the regular clicks, but they are stronger that I'm used to! I would say a good 2 - 3 times stronger than my old laptop. I should talk with the store (I bought only yesterday) or it is part of the design? Thank you.

  Hi Adam

  I m 3 notebooks different owner by clicking similar appears on one of my notebooks.
  It of certainly one from HARD drive, it seems for a year, but the HARD drive and the laptop works properly without any escapes

  But I have already noticed a head-crash HARD drive on my other computer. So you should be careful
  Don t forget to backup your important data, because this could be a beginning of the end of the HDD notebooks!

  Good bye

• HARD drive click after update Bios on Satellite A100

  Hello.
  I just did a bios update for my Satellite A100 PSAA9, and after that I started to hear a few clicks on the hard drive, from time to time. They appear very often, but I would like to know why they started!

  The bios update was published in 26/11/2007.
  Does anyone have the same problem?

  Thank you.

  I put t think it has something to do with the BIOS update.
  I put t don't know how old you HDD is but maybe that click concern only the HARD drive hardware problem

  There are several times in my HARD disk created similar clique and sounds but it s runs great
  I didn't noticed any hardware problem however, we cannot exclude a hardware problem and therefore, you should back up important data to prevent the files from damage.

  Best regards

• Password protect an external hard drive connected to Time Capsule

  I have a WD passport external hard drive connected to my time capsule, so my wife and I can easily share files. I have the external hard drive connected through the locked time capsules WiFi network so someone in the House can not access however if they walked the time capsule and not plugged in the external hard drive they could walk away with it. When I try to password protect external hard drive then time capsule may not recognise, and so I can't use it as an external hard drive that is shared. No one knows how, to password protect the external hard drive connected to the time capsule as if someone physically stole the external hard drive it would be locked, but have yet still recognizable by Time Capsule when I plugged?

  Hope that makes sense.

  The only way to do is to encrypt the files on the computer.

  And you both use the same password. Unfortunately, this probably means that you can not share files directly... The TC is not a SIN... never, it was designed for this purpose so there no controls to help admin file sharing.

  If you create a DMG file on WD drive that encrypt you and you can copy files to and from... but only one at a time.

  Another method would be to use a specific software... Watch chronosync.

  http://www.econtechnologies.com/Chronosync/guide-sync-with-disk-image.html

  I don't him have not run in this configuration... so, you have to experiment if it manages what you want.

  I think that there will always be limitations on concurrent access from multiple computers.

• Hard drive clicking - Satellite-U940-100

  Hi people,

  I bought a new computer laptop just 5 days back and I hear a noise clicking a few seconds apart. Here's what it looks like: [https://soundcloud.com/user506186265/toshiba-u940-clicking-sound]

  Can someone help me diagnose the sound, what is it and why it is happening?

  In this case every hour and is troubling in a quiet environment. Because I intend to keep the laptop for more than a few years I'm afraid that the hard drive won't be able to very soon. If I can't solve this properly before November 20, 2013 I intend to return to the where I bought the laptop.

  Thanks for your help!

  I agree with Timox
  The sound seems to create a HARD drive head during the read/write of data from the hard drive.
  This is nothing unusual. As mentioned by Timox; some HARD drive are stronger, some are quieter.

  In case you want to change the HARD drive in the future: I recommend you choose an SSD.
  It s much faster and SSD drives don't produce sounds

• Hard drive clicking noise Satellite P100-240

  Hello
  I bought this laptop a few months ago. Recently the hard drive was made of the sounds click thud when left idle or when it is used. Once there it usually starts guard going. Sound louder than normal sounds of hard drive activity and occurs every few seconds. Everyone knows about this problem? It is likely is a sign of mechanical defects and possible disk crash, or is this a normal phenomenon? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  Thank you
  Daniel

  Well, maybe it's a beginning of the end of s.
  Be careful and always make backups!
  My hard drive was cut there's dead several months! I noticed a low crackling inside. After restarting again the BIOS didn't recognize the HARD drive! It was an accident of the head!

  So, as mentioned above, be careful!

• Backup HD on the external hard drive with/without Time Machine backup

  I use a drive external iomega hard so that I can save my Mac hard drive. I used the iomega to back up my old computer before and succeeded with just drag / drop the files I needed. I simply slipped fell the Mac HD icon in my iomega DHM and was able to open all the files inside. It made me skeptical however, if I would be able to open the icon Mac HD with all my files so it was on another mac. All information that I looked upwards on a hd on a disk external drive to backup talk using Time Machine, which I've never used, and was not sure if it's even necessary to use.

  Here's what I mean by dragging my HD on the external hard drive.

  It is not at all a backup. This is just a link to the internal drive. Is there a reason why you do not want to use Time Machine?

• Hard drive clicking on a program with slow loading

  I have a HP Pavilion ze2000 running Windows XP. When I first put it, I hear a clicking of the area of the hard drive noise. When this happens, the machine boots very slowly. Once it is completely initialized, it works fine until I open a new program. The program is loading very slowly, but works great once it is. When I restart the machine, it will work normally.

  He began to arrive about three weeks ago. Whenever I start the machine cold, she clicks and runs slow. After that I have it reboot, it works normally.

  I ran the BIOS hard drive test and Windows disk check on the HDD and it passes all the tests. The hard drive is a Samsung HM160HC. He was in the machine, since I bought it used, but only started clicking in the las three weeks.

  Today, I reloaded the operating system of the ERD. All BONES and McAfee updates management. Then put it in my backpack, took to work, plugged in and turned on. He still had the rattling noise until I rebooted.

  I've seen a few posts who accuse the noise from the CPU fan. If that were the case, why would programs load slowly but operate normally? And how you would test it?

  I don't want to replace the HD if I do not, but what can I do else?

  Thanks for any advice,

  Mike in Indy

  Final solution: I replaced the HM160HC drive with a new same model. Reloaded the OS from scratch and it works perfectly for 3 days so far.

  The moral? Clicking on hard drives are bad, and you should count yourself lucky if they work long enough for you to backup your data before it is replaced.

• Replacement Solid State Hard Drive not recognized at initial startup

  I recently bought a Dell 30GB HDD solid state replacement for go in a Latitude D620. I was able to load windows from the recovery CD and drivers put on it, but started to see some issues with the startup. If the machine is off and that you try to make an initial power on the system does not see the HARD drive. If you press f1 to try anything again. If you put off and power on nothing. If reset you it using ctrl-alt-del it see the car and starts successfully. It seems as if the reader must completely lights until the system tries to access it, but that's just a guess. Any ideas as to what is the real problem or how to fix?

  
  

• MacBookPro 13 "hard drive, click sound

  Hello

  I use MacBookPro 13 "middle of model year 2012. Yesterday, it fell about 1' height. After this fall, that I often "pinging" from the hard drive. I searched on google and found that this is due to the activation of sudden motion Sensor (SMS). This is a safety feature.

  But the sound is irritating. I showed it to the Apple Service centre. They did an MRI and told me that all the hardware parts are 'OK '. They did not have a solution for this. How can I stop that noise now and always keep the sensor activated

  Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.

  Thank you

  I have the same PBM. I recently made a Crucial memory OCZ Trion 150-series SSD and 16 GB upgrade.

  Best thing I've ever done to this PBM, certainly.

  Cost me about $115 with parts purchased from Amazon.com

  I know this is off topic, but you should really consider a SSD upgrade. It will solve many of your problems.

  And your computing experience will be a pleasure and not pain.

  Your MBP will happen much, much better as a comparison of day and night.

• External hard drives G and Time Machine

  The issue of the 'readers G' does not complete the back-ups to Time Machine has been resolved?

  You will need to contact G-Technology in this regard. It is not a known problem of Time Machine. Do you repartition the drive using the GUID and the reformat Mac OS Extended journaled? You will need to do if you want to use with Time Machine, otherwise it will try to use the backup software pre-installed.

• can I use an external hard drive LaCie Raid time capsule?

  I am trying to hang a LaCie Raid to my Time Capsule for additional storage. I don't see the LaCie. Thanks in advance for the help.

  Support Apple mentions that you can plug a simple USB to the port on the router from the airport, or several readers if you use a powered USB hub.  There is no mention of Raid type disk, which I interpret as meaning that the RAID is not supported by the firmware on the USB port on the airport.

  Uses for the USB port of Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express - Support Apple Airport

  From my experience, the Raid type drives are not recognized by the USB port on the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme.

  Even if the RAID drive was recognized, probably would NOT ever want to connect a RAID stack on the port.

  The reason is that the port is USB 2.0 only... and due to the limitations of the processor in the airport router, the port runs at half the speed of a USB 2.0 on a computer. Thus, it would be incredibly slow with this type of installation.
