Well my cousins computer wont boot up, gets stuck at the windows load screen 90% of the time and if I listen closely to the hard drive I hear clicks that are very consistent. -click click click swack click- 6 second wait -click click click swack click- and it just repeats.
If you can hear clicking sounds it's most likely the hard drive dying
Alright, I figured thats what it was.... Well time to see if I can plug the HDD into my computer and save whatever files are on it.
Alright I can't get my computer to read the HDD... What do I do? I have to at least save the pictures on it.
It is dead. If you want to save the pictures, I hope you like spending upwards to 300 bucks to send it off to a data recovery company.
Well shit, I guess I'll have to be the bearer of bad news to my cousin...
This is why it's important to keep backups.
