Your Drive Is Making Clicking or Buzzing Sounds

Is your hard disk drive making strange whirring, clicking or buzzing sounds that you have not heard before? Additionally, are these being accompanied by error messages or difficulties with your computer? An example of this may be "blue screen errors".

When your drive starts making sounds that you haven't heard before, you may be having some drive head issues. This is a very critical time for your hard drive - any rash actions could mean complete hard drive failure. If you are in this situation, your drive recovery can still be very inexpensive, but you must follow a cautious route.

Your Best Actions:

1. Turn Off Your Computer
Although this action sounds counterintuitive, it can make a huge difference. Your drive is making noises because something (most likely the heads) of your hard drive are misalighed. Turning off your computer can prevent the heads from damaging your hard disk platter and making your data unrecoverable.

2 . Contact a professional
Your drive is in a structurally tentative state. Contacting a professional first will ensure that your drive can be recovered cheaply, and not end up being an expensive hard drive repair job.
