As computer users, we always use our computer without looking for signs that it might be crashing. This means that we have to pay more attention to things that deal with the hard drive. The question posed then is: how can you know whether your hard disk is in good condition? To know this, if any of the following does NOT happen, then it is in good condition:
Sound coming from the hard drive: This is usually one of the ways to know whether your hard disk is crashing. If there are sounds such as click sounds, noisy whirring and buzzing sounds then it means that your hard drive is not in good condition. A hard drive in good condition should only produce the read/ write sound that occurs when information is either written or being read from the hard drive.
Normal startup of the computer: If your computer starts up normally without any problems then the hard disk could be in good condition. If the hard disk wasn’t in good condition then you would experience many error messages such as ‘Hard Disk Failure’ or ‘Missing Operating System’. Also the computer would tend to hang and freeze a lot. A hard disk that is not in a good condition is generally one that has corrupted files. And this is why it may freeze and hang a lot. It may also keep rebooting on its own. This is especially so if there are viruses on your hard drive. The hard drive causes the boot files to form a loop and thus, the computer will keep restarting.
No appearance of blue screen: If a blue screen with a lot of information keeps appearing on your screen then the hard drive is not in good condition. This blue screen is a recovery program, meaning that some files are being recovered from the hard drive. This mostly occurs when the hard disk is failing. So of you don’t experience regular appearance of the blue screen then your hard disk is in good condition.
