Maxtor200GB HD Failed, very strange problem
I purchased this 200GB Maxtor harddrive in Nov. 2003. It ran fine, and I
had no problem with it using the ATA133 PCI card that came with it. But just this past weekend, when I turn on my computer's power, the hard drive started beeping! Yeah.. how weird is that?! XP won't recognize it, and the ATA133 PCI card won't recognize it. Well, here's what I did so far: 1. unplug the IDE cable, and just left the power plugged in, and powered up my system, the drive started beeping pattern, and I made sure the sound wasn't coming from the motherboard (I didn't bother hooking up a pc speaker). The beeping didn't stop until XP booted up. 2. plugged the hard drive into a different power supply, and it did the same thing. 3. Plugged the hard drive into a different box (my linux box) and it play the same stupid tone. If you know what is going on with this hard drive, or have some suggestions, please let share it. It would be interesting to see what the problem is. Many thanks in advance!! |
