If Windows detects a hard disk problem ...

In this world, we are all dependent on information. We read news, watch movies, listen to music, etc. All that we are interested in and like us, we store on the hard drives of our computers and laptops. And accounting with valuable information is also stored there. Sooner or later each hard disk will give out ominous clicks, wheezing or creaking, and then refuse to work. The saddest thing about this is the loss of valuable data that can not always be restored. Therefore, it is necessary not to miss, when this process will only begin. Often your system writes that Windows has detected a hard disk problem.

If you see such messages, then it can be various hardware faults of one or more hard magnetic disks. These include the broken (faulty) sectors of the hard drive that are the result of point damage to the plates of the device. They can also be faulty due to the fact that they do not have access to software. How is this manifested? You will notice the unstable and slow operation of your disk, there will be an error recording on it periodically. Repair of the hard disk in this case will consist in the software blocking the damaged areas and redirecting to the spare parts of the hard drive.

If there is a large number of these bad sectors, and periodically a message pops up saying that Windows has detected a hard disk problem, I strongly recommend that you replace the device with a new one in the shortest time, while keeping valuable information. If the data can not be read, contact the service center. There, with the help of special software and hardware systems, minimize the loss of your data. Do not repair the HDD yourself. This can only worsen the situation.

Go ahead. The next reason why you can see a message that Windows has detected a hard disk problem may be a defective magnetic head unit. It acts as a data reader from magnetized pancake pancakes. This is facilitated by various mechanical damage to the device, such as shocks or falls from a high altitude. The symptoms are as follows: when the hard drive starts up, you will hear incessant clicks. This is due to the fact that the head is not able to detect servo-marks. As a result, it will return to the beginning of the pancake. This process is called recalibration.

This is corrected only by replacing the block for the magnetic heads on exactly the same. It is usually taken from an identical donor device. After this operation, it is worthwhile to make a sector copy on a normal hard drive, though it still does not give any guarantees that your operating system will correctly determine the data on the restored device.

Of course, a message from the system that Windows has detected a hard disk problem may also occur for other reasons. In any case, one should never forget that the necessary data should always be a backup on any additional device.
