I receive a BSOD claiming that there is an error writing to drive C: and that some data may be lost......then my drive starts making noises...sounds alot like a marble being dropped on a tile floor....repeatedly.....is that normal? it used to do that, and now i have bad sectors, it's only a 1.2gb, so i was thinking of upgrading....what is that noise?
i don't know about the noise...but make a backup ASAP!! it could be damaged or near damaged
noises in hdd are not good
LOL, you've been a member since Dec2000, have over 300 posts! How'd you get that marble in there?
May be a ball bearing loose in the drive. Back-up and replace the drive, it's going.
Any noise in a HDD is a no-no.
Start making a grave for it. Back up ur data and get a new HDD.
If it's a 1.2 gig, it's probably very old. My 1.2 gig is still going in my Compaq 133, however. Your drive, more than likely, has had its day and has given up.
You can get an 80 gig for under a hundred bucks now.
What brand 1.2 gig? Western Digital had some big problems with thier 1.2's. I know, I had 2 completely die on me. They had a recall on them.
