One day you may turn on your notebook, and hear a clicking sound. If you are lucky, your computer may start. If unlucky it won't. That's the click of death, as your hard drive has failed.
What to do? Well if it still starts then backup your important information to a USB flash drive or external hard drive. If it doesn't then there are only two courses of action. These are:
1. If a new computer (say less than 3 years old), and you have recovery DVD's, then you may be able to get a new hard drive, and recover it back to factory fresh, otherwise
2, If it's an older computer, or you don't have recovery DVD's then it's time to go shopping and buy a new one.
If the hard drive had important information on it, there are forensic companies that can recover data even from crashed hard drives. This can be an expensive undertaking though.
