Hello everyone,
My problem is with my Hard Drive. It's less then 3 months old and (before the sounds became an issue) after a while, there was a slight humming/buzzing sound. Didn't make a big deal because I've been using a laptop for many years and wasn't used to PC sounds.
Anyway, it became an issue once I started recording with a microphone and I can hear it in the background. I brushed it off for a few days, decided to look it up and start to backup some files.
Right after I went to get a flash drive to transfer them to, I hear a clicking noise.. I was able to navigate fine through the Operating System but I transferred what I could and shut the computer off. I go look up symptoms on my laptop and find out that it's most likely damaged/dead. Come back to turn it on and now it's beeping and can't be booted.
Is there anyway to retrieve the files? I just bought a 'Usb 2.0 to 3.5'' SATA/IDE cable' and was going to try and boot a flash drive and go from there.
***In short: Began to notice humming/buzzing noise > clicking noise started > beeping noise occurs (can't boot drive)
