  1. Please help! Clicking noise from Laptop Hard drive mostly when I am doing nothing


    I have an HP omen 15-ax201nx .. a month ago it fell down and a week later the hard drive started to make a clicking noise .. the weird thing is that the noise is not frequent every 30sec-1min while I am using the laptop even when I am accessing or copying files .. when i leave the laptop for some time and the screen goes black like before sleep mode the ticks become very frequent like clock ticks .. once I move the mouse and the screen turns on .. it becomes less frequent again .. In experiences with other people it is usually the opposite .. any idea what this could be?

    :)

  3. ** HELP PLEASE! ** Hard drive making a clicking noise.

    My laptop is 3 years old and it has recently started making a clicking noise. It is a Toshiba Satelite.

    Is this a sign of hard drive imminent failure? I have copied my important files onto a USB stick just in case it does fail and one day my laptop won't turn on :/ My last laptop died of hard drive failure and I lost EVERYTHING :'(

    I have visited the Toshiba Support page and followed the instructions;


    Please help! Clicking noise from Laptop Hard drive mostly when I am doing nothing 24187e5c-a9ae-4a54-a419-48587272efed?upload=true.jpg


    but I cannot find the 'utilities folder' for the HDD. I have opened all of the Toshiba files, but cannot find it.

    I read on 'support' (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ng-noise/7c28500b-89ff-42b2-af1d-4a952d67ba35) that I should try:

    command prompt

    type "cmd"

    then type " chkdsk/f r

    then press enter.

    I have followed these instructions, but it does not work. I am told that 'access is denied'

    Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need to do so I can check my hard drive?

    I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much in advance.

    Help with external hard drive

    Hi Debbra,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate your interest in windows 10 and also for trying the troubleshooting steps to fix the issue. I understand the inconvenience you faced. I will certainly help you with this.

    I would suggest you to plug in hard drive then check in disk management you can see the drive or not.

    Follow the steps to check Drive in Disk Management.


    • Go to the Control Panel then click on the
      Administrative Tools. .

    • Under the Administrative Tool Click on Computer Management.

    • Click on Disk Management and check the External Hard Drive.

    Also check in BIOS whether External Hard Drive is listed or not.

    For help with the BIOS settings, refer to the computer manual or contact the manufacturer.

    If it doesn’t work then, I would suggest you to update BIOS for updating BIOS contact Lenovo Support.

    Follow the link:

    Modifying BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of BIOS/CMOS settings
