#HELP! HD ain't working!
Hello all,
Last night, I believe I close my computer while it was update a file on my
HD. This morning, when I opened my computer, the HD gave off about 5
equally spaced clicking sounds and then stopped. The HD light was on, and
stayed on. (Usually it goes off after a few moments before starting to boot
off the HD) The screen however, stayed blank. I tried a soft-reset, but
the same thing happened, except there was no click sound from the HD. I
also tried closing it for a few moments and opening it again, but I got the
same results as the first time I opened it. So, I decided to change the
HD's jumper, thinking it might allow boot off some disks.. it worked. But
now, I cannot access the HD at all. It doesn't even recognize the presence
of the HD.
Is this some sort of mechanical problem with my HD? I never experienced
this before.. it already crashed a few times, but I was able to re-format
itwith no difficulty. Now, I can not access it at all.
