Warning Signs Your Hard Disk Drive Could Be
Failing

2
The hard disk drive in your desktop or laptop
computer, and even the ones used in modern video
gaming systems do eventually start to wear out
for various reasons.

3
One of the more common reasons for failure is
from the numerous times we make changes to the
data on the drive, from reading existing data and
writing new data to deleting data we no longer
need.

4
There is a limit to the number of times the drive
will successfully perform these operations and
before bad sectors start to develop and
eventually lead to complete drive failure.

5
There are two different types of bad sectors you
can encounter software bad sectors and hard
drive bad sectors. With bad sectors related to
software,

    888.877.5002

6
these are easy to fix by using a utility program
as they are normally related to data not being
written to the drive correctly when you installed
the software app.

7
With hard drive bad sectors, the problem is on
the hard disk itself and cannot easily be
repaired. Initially, the computer or gaming
system will attempt to mark the sectors as bad
and skip writing data to them.

8
However, depending on the actual number of bad
sectors, it can slowly eat away at your available
storage and is a major early warning sign the
disk is wearing out.

9
Aside from bad sectors, other common types of
early warning signs include

10
1. Freezing/Locking Up From time to time our
computers and gaming systems can lock up or
freeze and are easily fixed with a quick reboot
of the system.

    888.877.5002

11
However, if the frequency is increasing and
becoming a daily occurrence, then your hard drive
could be failing.

12
2. Unusual Noises If you notice clicking,
grinding, or other unusual noises coming from the
computer or game system while trying to load or
save data, it often indicates a problem with the
drive and potential failure.
  • webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/
    888.877.5002

13
3. Unable to Find Saved Data If you saved
data and then later attempt to access it,
  • webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/
    888.877.5002

14
but it is gone, this means there is a mechanical
problem with the disk drive and it can no longer
access the data, so it will display a message,
such as File Not Found.
  • webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/
    888.877.5002

15
4. Errors Loading or Saving Data Another
warning sign is when you get errors attempting to
load or save data. The data could be corrupt or
there could be bad sectors on the disk drive.
  • webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/
    888.877.5002

16
5. Sounds and/or Images Problems If you frame
rates skip, jerk, or do not appear to be
displaying correctly or the sounds seem jumbled
or skipping, these are signs the disk drive in
starting to fail.
  • webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/
    888.877.5002

17
If you discover bad sectors or any of the above
problems, the first thing you will want to do is
attempt to backup all of your vital data
immediately, either to an external storage device
or the Cloud.
