Immediate attention required
If your hard drive is making clicking noises — your computer may also freeze or take too long to boot up
— it's an indicator that your hard drive may be going bad. These symptoms mean that it is likely not going
to last much longer and may be completely unusable within a very short amount of time.
Note: the worst case scenario is that your files and programs may be unrecoverable
very soon.
If you get your computer to us (or have us pick it up) when it first starts exhibiting these symptoms, we can
usually save your data (files and programs) intact. With each attempt to restart your computer
after this first happens, you are considerably decreasing the possibility of recovering
your files. If addressed within a reasonable amount of time, you can be back up and going within a few hours.
What to do if your hard drive is clicking
- Shut down your computer, and do not attempt to restart it.
- Call us immediately to arrange for fast pick up and repair.
The biggest problem with hard drive failure is the potential loss of all your data -- the contents of your hard drive. Our computer repair technicians have years of experience in handling hard drive failures, restoring files, and getting companies back up and running. For hard drive clicking problems, call Los Angeles Computerhelp immediately.
