hard drive noises!
Hi all,
My hard drive seems to make a few clicking noise just before it freezes. Once it froze, the HDD light stays on. I give my Case a small slap on the side and the HDD clicks again and sometime goes back to normal and at time it gives me an error like this * BCResident, Unable to get procedure address. * should it need a low level format or the HDD is slowly letting go? Thanks. |

* should it need a low level format or the HDD is slowly letting go? Thanks. It's almost certainly dying. Start backing up your essential stuff asap. -- º~ dªv¡d ~º |

Lane Lewis enlightened us all with these words of wisdom:
Run the manufacturers test. snip Only after backing things up ASAP. If it's an IBM, do it quickly, it hasn't got long. |
