I have recently defragmented my drive and here what happened. During the defragmentation process, hard disk started clicking, so I rebooted. I know that I shouldnt have done it, but its over now. So, now its clicking all the time. I m afraid that its already broken and that will fail. I was wondering if there is a way to prevent this. Some software, patches, fixes, anything? Thanks in advance!

| I agree, you shouldnt have done it! You damaged the surface of a disk, so one of the mechanical parts is broken. You have bad sectors on your drive, physical or logical. Firstly, take your hard drive to another computer and do the same test again. Defragmentation could take few hours to complete, so dont rush and dont use fast fragmentation option. When you here those clicks, dont reboot. If computer succeeds in this action, try to load the OS from your hard drive. There is a lot of software for this purpose. Windows has one in his system tool options. But try to find recoverymaster, its very easy to use, and it has huge database of hard drives. Check it out. If that fails you should contact your vendors technical support. They will recommend you some software, or more probably offer a new device! Cheers! |
