Hello guys, I have a problem with my hard drive. When i boot the screen does not post and all that I see is a white dash in the top left corner of my screen which then follows by a singular click that can be heard from the hard drive, this goes on in an endless loop. I have already purchased a new drive however I would like to know if this current drive is definitely dead.
I have switched the sata cable between mutliple slots on my motherboard however the result is the same.
I would also like to mention that the drive is 10 years old so it was probably at the edge of its life anyway.
Edit:
I have taken the hard drive out and booted up the PC to see if it posts, and this is where the confusing part starts because i still get a white dash at the top left corner of my screen. Does this mean it posted OK? or is there something wrong with the motherboard?
