Help! EHDD clicking sounds
« on: June 06, 2015, 02:36:41 am »
So, may Toshiba 500gb external drive ako, binili around 2010 pa.

Alam ko na kapag may clicking sounds na, may tama na yung head ng disk. Tinry ko na sya both sa Mac at Windows, parehong hindi na nadedetect, pero may power sya at yun nga, may clicking sound.

Question lang, meron bang way para maretrieve ko pa lahat ng files sa drive ko? May mga files kasi ako dun na way back 2007 pa, sayang naman kung mawawala lang. Ang suggestion sa'kin ng friend ko e maghanap ako ng kaparehong model ng hard drive, ipagpalit 'yung heads, at voila, maaaccess ko daw uli 'yung drive. Di ako convinved e haha. At good luck naman kung makahanap pa ako ng kaparehong toshiba drive, 2010 pa 'to.

Please help, fellow spies. Maraming salamat! ::laffman

if all youre after is to recover your files, freeze the hard drive (be sure to wrap it in a plastic bag or better yet use the anti-static bag if you still have it). while its still cold, plug it in, you should be able to access it for a few min (until it thaws anyway). its an old trick not even sure if it still works these days

Pag may clicking sounds mas malaki ang chance na pumapalya lang yung spinup kesa yung iniisip mo na sira na yung head.

Posibleng di lang sya nakakatanggap ng enough power, maybe dahil sa cable (subukan mo gamitan ng ibang cable just to be sure), failing usb port o may problema lang yung enclosure which means your best bet ay gawin yung sinabi ni weng151515 na alisin sa enclosure at gamitin na parang internal, although di yan posible sa lahat ng model kasi merong external na yung usb bridge ay nasa hd mismo. Pero since luma naman na yan mas malaki chance na yung laman nyan ay typical 2.5" hd lang.

Anyway di mo na kelangan munang gumamit ng recovery tools, ang problema mo lng naman di nadedetect - the drive itself may be perfectly fine.
