Clicking from Hard drive

[Rainy]

My friends computer is doing this.. I did some searching for hard drive
failure and was wondering if there is a free utility that would detect the
hard drive crashing.. any help appreciate. hugs Rainy

Check with the manufacturer of the hard drive. They might have a free app on
their site that will detect hard drive problems.

Hi.. it might have been what I needed but can't get the program to install..
it gets to a point and next is not highlighted both on my computer, and my
friends... Also it keeps asking for a cartridge! I think the executable may
be corrupted. any other ideas? Rainy

Are you sure it is NOT the normal clicking sounds when the disk is seeking?

just found out what it was.. no it wasn't that.. it was the keyboard
sticking.. you know how a key when stuck will stick.. she did a recovery and
changed her keyboard and it's ok now.. hugs Rainy

Thanks for posting back. Your friend did a recovery first and then
determined the problem was a sticking key on the keyboard? Ouch!!
And yes I know how a stuck key will stick ;-)

<G> , well at least a new drive isn`t required - bit expensive .

I think so, yes recovery first, then the keyboard.. .. I meant to say when
the key sticks it clicks.. thanks for the help.. this group is great. Rainy
