Hi,
My HDD has been making some loud clicks (well louder than usual, its the kind the drive makes when the windows decides to reboot on its own). It makes them randomly, and its a single click.
I've got 2 maxtor hdd's (a 120 and 200 GB). The 120 is the master. I believe its that one thats clicking (it's also older). P4 2.4 533 on an Asus P4P800-X mobo. 400W generic psu (rails are, 12.403, 4.945, 3.232).
I've had these errors,
The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within the timeout period.
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Ide\IdePort0.
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation.
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging operation.
Windows would also just stall, no BSOD, just a frozen screen of whatever i was doing.
I went and changed the ide cable. It seems ok now, but i think i still hear the clicking. I'm gonna swap the molex for good measure. But does anyone know anymore about this?
Windows did set my primary channel to PIO mode cos of all the errors. I did the uninstall/reinstall quick fix to restore udma 6.
This all just suddenly started happening, I hope my drive isnt failing.
Any input appreciated.
