    White screen occurring after plugging in hard drive and attempting to view files.


    I was using my laptop and accidentally knocked my hard drive off my desk, the drive fell onto the floor and disconnected. whenever i have the drive connected and attempt to access the files, it says its not responding and eventually brings me to a white screen with only my cursor. What might be the cause and is there a fix? And if, how do you fix it?

    :)

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
