Hard drive problem

[joyceann]

I got a 1TB hard drive and it is making cracking sounds inside and a blue light at first, then the cracking sound stops and displays a flashing blue light. Sooner, the flashing blue light stops and remains steady. I don't know what's the problem. Please help me.

link is hard drive failure sounds. if it sounds like one of those your drive has died and needs to be replaced.
