Hi,
I hope this isn't a silly question, but alas...
Someone wants me to install Win98 on a Compaq Presario. Supposedly,
the hard drive inside was new and blank.
Well, I started to install Win98 on it and, during formatting, the
HDD started making loud clanging noise like the arm inside was
popping back and forth.
Now, I know their OLD hard drive made these noises and they bought a
new hard drive. But when they gave me the system, the new hard drive
was supposed to be already installed.
I have trouble believing that.
So, just a reality check: These noises can't be caused by anything
other than a physically damaged hard drive, right?
Cheers,
Mike...
