Faulty hard drive - how can I remove it and back up data onto another computer?
Hi there,
This video isn't for your model, but it will give you a general idea of removing the hard drive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a7pwc7dl3w
Once you've removed the drive you'll need to either plug it into a desktop or get a hard drive caddy from a local electronics store.
Then you can use EaseUS recovery found here http://www.easeus.com/download.htm
to try to recover data from the drive, but to be honest, if it's actually making noise, that means it's had a head crash or something similar and you chances of getting data are pretty slim.
Thanks,
Liam.
Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA
the leads from your "((MOTHERBOARD TO YOUR HARD DRIVE))" make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them they could be faulty
make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they could be faulty a computer needs its connections to continue its cycle and have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error even something as small as a faulty electrical extension or fan lead can cause this problem
computers need all of the data and electrical current to travel through every working device and to have an end to be able work properly
a motherboard and a hard drive any leads between them will fail before your motherboard or your hard drive if its a flat ribbon 40 pin type IDE replace it this will be the first to fail check all electrical power input and extensions make sure they are securely seated even the cd/dvd floppy drives need to have current go through make sure these drives are working
hope this helps you
