Hard drive not working




By tntrekabulat on May 01, 2009

" "
My hard drive makes a repetitive clicking sound. This sound is usually followed by a high pitch frequency sound. I think the arm inside of the hard drive is out of alignment. Is there any way to fix this.

Hi,
Unfortunately this is a very specialized field and the sounds you describe are those of a hard drive which has hardware damage.
It will most likely cost you less to buy new hard drives than having the old ones repaired.
Best wishes,
