Samsung Harddrive "clicks" (with video)
Hi
Few weeks ago my Samsung HDD started to "click" constantly. I where able to find the drive in Hardware Manager at the time. I bought a simulair harddrive, and switched the inside diskes over, to see if I could save my data from the broken one, but when I put the diskes from the broken over in the working HDD, it just starts to click the same way. And now I have 2 Samsung diskes making the same failure. Here is a video of the disk clicking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaCpqoPwl-E Does anyone know what I can do now? |

Re: Samsung Harddrive "clicks" (with video)
What type of HD (IDE or SATA)?
Which drive (C:, D:, etc.)? When you installed the HD, and if it's an IDE, did you jumper the HD correctly (jumpers on the HD)? Primary IDE, first HD (C:), set jumper as Master (do NOT trust Cable Select aka CS) Primary IDE, second drive (HD or CD-ROM), set jumper as Slave For Secondary IDE, use same jumper scheme, first device = Master, second device = Slave. NOTE: With CD-ROMs on IDE, it is best to have the drive on its own cable, set Master. If the CD-ROM is on the same cable as a HD, HD = Master & CD-ROM = Slave. This is due to the data trough-put being set by whatever is Master and CD-ROMs are slower. |
