Trouble shooting your PC

Almost all of us use PCs and hence we are bound to experience OS crashes, hard drive failures or simply windows refusal to boot.As the only solution to avoid windows crashes is to format "C" drive , i will
try to help you solving the other problems.

• 1.HDD failures:

though the name contains a "hard",these drives are highly failure prone.the causes
can be anything like you took it to your friends place, who has a lot of movies and games and the drive works well at his place but when you connect it back to your good old PC it just wont work. Other factors though highly rare compared to above mentioned are overheating, aeging, or a huge shock.
This is all so easy to speak but when you are in real hurry to complete your
project then it really becomes frustrating.
TRY THIS:

1. First of all just check whether you have connected the cables properly .It may be possible that the data or power cable is not connected properly.Even after this if the problem continues then try buying a new data cable.these are extremely cheap and will cost between 20 to 40 rupees at most.
2. If you have got a "live" disk then try and boot using that disk and see whetheryour hdd is responding.
   
3. Take it back to your friends place. if it works then copy all your data to the other hdd and format yours.Then you can easily get your data back any time you want.
4. There is possibility of bad sectors being formed on your hdd.Try a good bad sector remover. for that you can search GOOGLE or you can get it from here
5. If the problem continues then the solution is to go for data recovery softwares.Again search google or get it from here
6. One last solution is to put your hard drive in freezer.Yeah, i mean it. Just wrap it properly in plastic so that water wont get inside it.keep it for at least 24 hrs.Then get rid of any condensation before connecting it back. This may make your drive work for one last time and then dont turn your PC off until you have got all the important data like games , movies copied and secured.Then you can think whether or not to copy trivial data like projects and all that.
   

Now last and best thing, if the red indicator is on and instead of divine spinning you here sound like "CLICK !CLICK! " then just check your warranty card and get a replacement if possible or buy a new one without even reading all this.
