Hi all,
this is my first thread, glad to be here. I need help!
my hard drive was damaged by an impact. It is not an old hard drive so it should have many years life and it, if I can fix it or partition it in disk utilities. Someone I'm taking a class with, who seems to know computers, has said that he has done this. Is it true that a rotational hard drive can be fixed this way?
The computer is working, but working rather poorly slow sluggish difficult to use it does not read certain things but reads others. I'm getting the Beachball too often and the hard drive is making a noise . Sounds like a fan going. Tag like safari in doc are blank. Craigslist is full of repeated AAAAA
This rotational hard drive is 499 (Storage) GB. I have filled very little of it.
Hope you can help, you may ask me any questions you wish (in order to help me further) otherwise I will have to buy a new hard drive. I have an SSD coming in the mail, but would rather fix this if I can.
Thanks
Alex
