my hard drive i clicking what do i do? - Help.com

clicking like what

First of all, back up your data on an external hard drive if you have one. I had this problem a few years ago and it ended up breaking. I’m not sure what you could do to try and repair it though. You could try opening up your computer and looking to for anything unusual.

Then make a back up! Have you had your computer long?

The clicking is just the pickup leads inside the HDD. If it is making extensive noise all of the time then I suggest that you get yourself another HDD then use the transfer wizard to transfer your files from one HDD to the new HDD. Make a backup CD just in case you need it. Hope this helps :-)

Yep. That’s the number one sign of a failing hard drive.

I think so.

I would get a new one then you have it when you need it. Until then use it as a backup.

You can research hard drives at sites such as www.newegg.com or www.tigerdirect.com
