I am facing a problem related to hard drive. Actually when I connect my hard drive to the computer, I hear some strange beeping sound and blinking until the power is connected. The most important thing for me is the data lying in the hard drive. What I have to do in situation like this. Will I need some professional help or I can overcome the problem with the help of third party software?
Beeping shows low power. So in this case you need to check the following things:
- Do not plug the power supply into power strip.
- Plug the power supply directly into wall.
- Power strips can vary the power by more than 5%.
- Use another power supply which has same power output, it will help you to test the drive.
- Test another data cable.
Communication in USB drives on windows based system depends on USB chipset drivers. The generic Microsoft USB drivers let the drives to do proper communication. But if the chipset located on the motherboard is having errors then Microsoft has defined that the USB bus will confused and unresponsive. And following type of situation will be created:
- Problems in write.
- Drive cause to drop intermittently.
- Drive is seen right after a bold boot. But never seen on warm boot.
- Transferring speed is very slow.
- Files are visible but they are unable to access.
- CRC errors (Cyclic Redundancy Check).
- Drive heat increases.
- When multiple USB drives are connected, all are not seen.
