Sounds like a fried bearing. Get a new hard drive. I doubt your bf wll find anyone who doesn't say--"its toast, buy a new drive". You don't open a hard drive like you pop the hood on a car. They are built in a dust-free enviornment and people have ruined their perfectly good drives by just opening them to look inside without touching anything.

No, Hardisk does not fails as immediately as we do wrong close down. The existence of an complicated disk relies upon at employing it. If we use it for twenty-4 hours by skill of way of out the 12 months the metallic plates indoors the complicated disk will start to worn up and then we are waiting to pay interest a noise like a rat scribbling! this means that your complicated disk could be failed after some MONTHS!!

I'm no computers' expert but I know how to work with them and I did have that problem. Unfortunately it looks like ur hard drive is damaged for good. Don't let ur boyfriend take a look at it coz he might damage ur whole computer (lol) but I fix pcs every now and then and I can tell u that's the problem. U need to buy a new hd and of course install the windows again.

Your in trouble, but there are several posibilities to fix it or not :D. When your hard drive does like that, it means that u have BAD sectors on it. Bad sectors are parts of the hard drive that where the information can't be read or written. I'm not clear huh? Bad sectors can occure because of magnetism between inside disks or head disks readers (pins). Bad sectors are two types: Logical Bad's provocked by magnet polarize between disks and Physically Bad's provocked by the scraches of the head disks readers. A good news and a nasty one: Good news: Logical Bad's can be repaired. Nasty news: Physically Bad's are critical can't be repaired and the harddisk is compromised. But try HDD regenerator program. Remove your hard disk from your PC, move it into another pc, give a google search 1st and find HDD regenerator follow the instructions of the program in order to use it. If u need the serial from the program (need to be registred) contact me personally...;) i have it. Good Luck! I hope I was clear!

If you hard drive sounds like a cat screaming, then it's probably toast. Now, there is always a way to fix broken hard drives, but it's usually very expensive. Thats why it's always important to back up your data.
