So yeah its starting to die I assume.

Device manager tells me it is fujitsu, google gives me fujitsu diag software, which tells me this

LOLLOL no hard drive in my laptop!

can anyone recommend any other hard drive diag tools?


thanks

maybe it's a bomb

cue joke about tools

If its ticking and not detecting its gone my friend, time to buy a new one :)

That ticking you can hear is the read head ramming itself into the platters cause something has failed bigtime :/ She ain't coming back.

its still working though :/

I kinda don't want to go through the warranty hassel, considering it was purchased in Aus and I'd be returning it in Ireland (its Asus and has a global warranty)

and heardy kills yet another hard drive :D

If there's a global waranty why not take advantage of it? Just delete all your porn & send it in for repair. Either that or just buy yourself another hard drive, back up all your stuff onto a CD & toss the old one out/grind it into little pieces if you're worried about sensitive data.

edit: aren't you supposed to run that diag software from a bootable cd/floppy? maybe that's why it's not working.

I beg to differ :D my hard drive ticks stops, then starts to work again. its a machiiiineee :P

When you start to get corrupted files don't come back crying :)

If you persist in using it I wouldn't be storing anything of value on there cause its just a matter of time before it all goes bye bye.
