![]() ![]() Hope some one would be able to help in pointing out where the problem is and what should be done to solve it. So, finally i decided to post the problem here. But i am afraid this would one day cause my drive to die. Step 2: If you see the disk head tangled with the platter, it is the main reason causing the hard drive wonx27 t spin. Step 1: Start the process by opening the hard drive, use a screwdriver, and open the lid of the drive. And after all the drama, the drive is always back to normal. Try a new port and see if it stops beeping. Panicking that this would cause my hard drive to die if it isnt dead already, i powered-off the system and back on, but the same continuous start-stop started happening again.įinally at third reboot, this time me waiting 5 mins before doing so, the system powered up and the drive is working fine (though still in PIO mode).ītw, this same whole thing has happened a couple of times before as well. ![]() I can only conclude (btw i am sure) that it stopped and started spinning every 3-4 seconds. Then after few seconds it made that same sound again and continued to do so at regular intervals of 3-4 seconds. And then when I checked the cpu cabinet to see if the disk was running, i noticed the typical high frequency sound which comes from HDDs when they are powered up and start spinning. On the next reboot win XP didnt show any of its (7200.12's) partitions while others worked fine. When I checked it was this (7200.12) drive which had reverted to PIO. I knew this would be because one of my drives has reverted to PIO. The problem is with the second drive (ST3500418AS - 7200.12) which i noticed when suddenly after running the system or 2-3 hrs, hardware interrupts started taking 50% of CPU. I am using three SATA internal hard drives for my system. ![]()
