Hello comunity!
This morning i woke up and i had to format a friend's hdd. I took it out of his PC, connected it to my PC as normal, booted up, format, shutdown, disconnected the cables and booted my PC. But it didn't want to boot(the "instert a boot and press any key" thing). On the bios information screen on what's loading said it DOES detect both of my hdd's (i have a primary blue WD and a secondary black WD), but when i enter the bios config, boot menu, it ONLY finds the black WD. I removed the black WD and tried again. After a fail to boot (the win logo showed up and the PC just shutdown) it booted. I started the WD lifeguard and it did find some bad sectors that it wasn't able to fix (probably because the OS is installed in the hdd). I was able to save my information on my secondary hdd, using another friend's PC by connecting both of the hdd's to his PC. Currently I have connected only the primary hdd to my PC and it looks like it's struggling to work properly. NOTE that there ARE some strange sounds coming ot of the hdd. One of them like really gently hitting a jar. I'll try uploading two recordings.
Is my hard drive giving up on me and is it fixable?
Primary hdd - WesterDigital Caviar Blue 500GB WD5000AAKX Sata 16mb Cache
Secondary hdd - WesterDigital Black 1000GB WD1003FZEX Sata 64mb Cache
I'm also woried can this be caused by my motherboard?
Thanks in advance! Help is really appreciated!
