Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 (ST3250824A) 250 GB Hard Drive Questions & Answers
Blinking red/green light
Sorry to tell you but the clinking sound is the reading head trying and failing to access the data - your hard disk is dead, all the data on it is lost.
If you trully can't afford to lose that data there are companies that specialize in extracting data from damaged disks - but it will be extremely expensive, around $1000, and they will not be able to recover all .

How do you remove fragmentation (defrag) a hard
when files are written to the hard drive they start from the center outwards...as the platter fills up, the read/write heads find the next empty spot. when a file is deleted (document, photo, mp3, or even a temp file used by the system) the r/w head starts writing a new file in the FIRST empty spot it finds....rather than one continuous stream of data.
Theoretically, copying files from a fragmented drive to a freshly formated drive would move them in an orderly fashion without fragmenting.
On the other hand, if you were to use a clone utility (like norton ghost or acronis) then you would copy everything of the original drive bit by bit in its original position, fragments and all.
interesting question to be sure....I will have to experiment with this.

I transfer my hd to an external case and now
if you transferred you C: drive, the computer won't boot. if not, then you might have the pin setting on the drive set as a slave. you need to set it to master. on the end where you plugged in the power and data cable, their should be a small jumper. check either on the sticker or on the plastic around the jumper. move the jumper to the appropriate spot then plug the enclosure into the computer and the wall if it needs power.
hope this helps.

Hard drive arm not engaging click click click then ding ding din
The drive is pretty much ruined if you removed the top and exposed it.
The only chance of recovery is to send it to a specialist. You can not fix this drive, nore get the data off. They may have to remove the plates and install it in another drive to recover... or replace the electronics.
In anyway you look at this, it will be a very costly thing to recover data.
Sorry, but can not help you with this.

Please share image and location of TVS diode in ST3120827AS seagate hard disk circuit board
For the Seagate hard disk model ST3120827AS, the TVS diode is typically located on the circuit board (PCB). TVS diodes are designed to protect electronic circuits from voltage spikes and transient events. They are usually small, with two leads, and look like small cylindrical or rectangular components.To locate the TVS diode on the circuit board, you may need to refer to the hard drive's datasheet or schematic diagram, if available. Additionally, you can try searching for online resources or forums where individuals share information about hard drive components and their locations.Regarding the Cisco Nexus Network Switch , it's important to note that specific details about the internal components, including the location of TVS diodes, may be proprietary and not readily available in publicly accessible documents. For detailed information about the switch's internal components, you may need to refer to Cisco's official documentation or contact Cisco's support

The hard disk not detected
Try downloading TESTDISK and see if the drive is detected on the List within TESTDISK. If it is then you may be able to restore the boot sector within TESTDISK.

Seagate barracuda 7200.9 connect to USB
You will need an external Hard drive adapter case.
This will probably come with driver disk.
If already and external drive it may have internal firmware which talks directly to the PC.
Just install drivers, if any, and plug unit in.
Follow screen prompts.

Can a power interrupt during hard drive installation cause a "Boot manager missing" message?
You do not say what OS you were installing, and Windows limits what you can do with the hard drive during installation.
As you have found out, any power interruption during an installation will likely corrupt the process and make the system unbootable.
If you can restart the install at the very beginning that may work for you. However, I believe the simplest fix will be to use a live system bootable disk and erase the corrupted partition table on the drive then restart the install as if it were a brand new hard drive.
For that type of recovery I use gparted, which can be downloaded for free from
http://gparted.org/livecd.php
Gparted live can be used on CD, hard disk, USB, or even pxe boot. I would delete all the existing partitions that were created during the failed install, then restart the install from the very beginning as if it were a new disk.

How do you retrieve photos from a hard drive
You mean "lost" photos? or I don't understand your question. If lost, there are a number of "free" recovery software solutions as well as purchase type solutions. Otherwise, tomshardware.com has very good answers.
