    HDD problem
    « on: September 06, 2018, 10:05:39 AM »
    Hello peeps, I used this forum in the past and the community is absolutely great!

    I am having problems with my 1TB HDD.

    I have used it many times before but when I start up the computer the HDD gives out a 'static' noise and the computer automatically goes into the BIOS and says that there is no boot device available.

    I used the HDD in another PC with a completey different motherboard then put it back into its original PC, I wonder if that is what is causing this.

    I can post a video of the noise if that helps you guys.

    Thanks!

    Good day

    Can you post the video please, if the video shows your drive make and model that would be a great help.

    Thankyou

    Confused by the term "static noise"...never heard that from a HDD...

    I put it down to 'dynamic', the noise changes and is random.'static' it's repetitive.perhaps the 'click of death' :(
