For any reaction to happen there must be an action.

What led us to conclude that your hard drive needs changing ?

You need to run a hard drive fitness test on the hdd.

The result would either fail or pass and from there you

can decide. Take for example, you have a car and is no working

properly and you decide to spend £300 on it before a mechanic test it.


tanx a lot u guys are wondaful.
its hp compaq nc6220
Doesn't make sense, does it ? If i was you,take this laptop for a physical
exam... for a tec to ascertain whether is hard drive or a CPU fan making that noise.

60% it would be the hard drive but you need to have your fact before spending your money


For the third time again, what make and model is your laptop? we've asked for this several time now.
check at the botton should have a name. e.g. My own Laptop is toshiba p300-20h windows vista

You need to run a hard drive test, thats why we ask for your laptop make and model
as some of them have internal bios testing tools to verify the hard drive condition

deji2009:

This what we asked off you and was very pleased when I
saw your reply. In the future, always mention laptop make
and model you'd notice you get replies to a given problem.
This is one of the reason tec dont bother replying. you 'd see
some people ask questions lot of time and dont get a reply is because of
this. Ok make sure your battery is fully charge or plug in to the mains either way
so the test will finish wihtout any disturbances.

one more thing. it doesnt accept wireless. it finds it but wont connect. help me i just bought it. buts its not new one.

queenet246:



all tests were successful.
i even did memory check and it was successful.
plz wats next.

deji2009:

With that you can be sure your hard drive is ok.
Is an internal testing tools designed by HP that we uses to
test the hard drive conditn. The result is the final, thats it.

SO, lets wait for other technicians views on this. If you can some noise
am 95% sure is the cpu fan making noise. your laptop model is old and the likleyhood of
that happening is very high. Especially if the fan run at a very high spped and the air
coming out is hot. or we can remove the hard drive and power the laptop on and see if we make the same
noise without the hdd inside.

queenet246:

so wat do i do now since d hard drive is ok. someone suggested i get windows xp and do something with it.
but ur suggestion has been of great help. tanx a lot

deji2009:

Can it connect by cable. e.g.

Have you checked in device manager(press Windows key + Pause/break) to see if you network controllers are listed. If they are, check the devices properties to see if they are working properly. You could also uninstall them from there and restart your computer. On restarting Windows will detect new hardware and reinstall the drivers. try connecting and make sure you have your network security ley

queenet246:


it connected by cable. but i dnt know ow to check for wireless though i put the wireless on. ow do i do that?
tanx. u guys ave been of help

deji2009:

So the wireless On/Off Button is on?
if not the swicth is on the top row
near the power switch button

The Wireless On/Off LED will show
near the Power/Standby LED at the bottom
row where you have the touchpad

Right click on the Wireless Connection icon at the bottom right side
of your screen and select View Available Wireless Networks from the list.
and follow the inst... to enter your password

queenet246:

or anything that says network click on it
and when it open right click on network connection then view
